Cheesy Moments

A poem about the small moments that matter the most.

Cheesy Moments

 

Those moments that seem small at the time,

But turn out to be the biggest.

The ones that seem so unimportant from the outside looking in,

Mean the most in our hearts.

 

When we picked those flowers from the ground,

And gave them to each other with silly smiles spread across our faces.

It seemed like just another stitch in the fabric of time,

But we will never forget how they smelled.

 

When we sat close enough that our shoulders touched,

And listened to over-the-top love songs.

Singing along like a couple of tone deaf drunks that most people would try to forget,

But we’ll never forget how bad we sounded.

 

When we bought that bottle of cheap cider from the supermarket,

Because we wanted to feel fancy and have some fun,

To some that seems so stupid,

But we’ll never forget how smooth it went down.

 

Or that time we danced under the stars,

Like a pair of left-footed losers.

It might look silly,

But we’ll never forget how right it felt.

 

Remember the time we curled up to watch that movie,

How we could feel little fires lighting up wherever we touched.

We played it off like it was normal,

But we’ll never forget how good those burns felt the next day.

 

And when we spent and still spend hours talking on the phone,

Hanging on to each and every word like it could be the last we ever hear.

People might say it sounds like an inconvenience,

But we’ll never forget how big our smiles were on the other end.

 

How about when we went out to eat that day,

And we fed each other cake without a second thought, like it was natural,

Even we thought it was a little silly,

But we’ll never forget how it tasted.

 

Then there was the night we held each other,

Like we couldn’t get enough,

You walked away leaving my blankets smelling like vanilla, and to another that might not seem like much,

But we’ll never forget how happy we were.

 

Those cheesy moments others pass off so easily,

Are the memories that we’ll hold on too.

 They make us smile every time they come up,

And even if other people never understand them, we’ll never forget.

Absolutely love this! I could feel the moments you displayed through this writing. Not only from a past regression of my own moments, but through someone else's eyes for a moment. Thank you for this. :)
