Oregon

Do you remember Oregon?

the trees

and Alison Krauss

and dried mango

and the black and white film

and the trees

The only time we drove in the dark

was the night you told me

about your mom

we made it all the way

to Long Beach that night

Leaving Seattle

I had this feeling

that I'd never been anywhere

like this before

The night we sat by the fire

and you hugged me in my giant sweatshirt

was the same night

I think

That I dragged you out of bed

to look at the stars

I didn't tell you I loved you then.

I'm telling you now.

A very beautiful and wistful memory, lovingly remembered. Very nicely written. Thank you for sharing this.
