In our Youth

Remember the time when we snuck away,

when our dreams were huge and hopes defiant,

when the world revolved around us, just us,

and we slept under the stars dreaming...

Remember the time when you held my hand,

your voice steady and supportive with me,

You would glare at anyone whose taller,

even when they had the advantage yet....

I remember all those fights you would start,

from your ridiculous pride...and for me,

I would scold you and help carry you home,

and we would laugh all night until sunrise...

I remember everything about you,

I remember your smile to your grave.
