Remember
I remember gray pebbles sinking into bare feet as they carry me to open arms,
I remember throwing myself towards cold coffee, like a starving man given a feast,
I remember golden fur under my head, our breathing in sync as I dozed.
I remember the thumping and crackling of the car radio,
I remember city lights are burning stars as I reach for them through unbreakable glass,
I remember racing raindrops, fading hearts, goodbye thoughts, and stinging eyes.
I remember the drips of sweat down my back as I ran,
I remember the cold eyes that turned kind when they saw my smile,
I remember broken bones bound in belief but bandages and bubbles bursting.
I remember the ringing of bells and shuffling feet,
I remember pinkie-promises whispered in empty halls,
I remember the rush of flying and feeling the ground smack me for being foolish.
I remember Saturday cuddles and Criminal Minds,
I remember the echoes of laughter as we hid from one another,
I remember the quiet that came after midnight and wishing it was like this forever.

I wrote this for an assignment and really liked it. It made me think how I can remember so little yet so much from my childhood.
