i walked in ::
courageous and bent on
feeling your scent around me
so i breathed very deliberately,
trying to escape my childhood dreams
and embrace your young trends.
my mind buzzed with memories
like the time we sipped wine ::
no i suppose it wasn't that kind
but it was alcohol, anyway.
the velvet overalls and
jackets of jean, cardigans and
alternative music turned up on high
made my organs fly
with the thought of surviving
high school
without you.
