I never knew what it was like to stand on a tree so tall,
but then I stood up and saw the sun,
bursting through the clouds and smiling at us
and kissing us on the cheek.
I felt so free and so infinite
and I'm glad I shared that with you.
We seemed so close to the sky even though we were so far away
We smoked our cigarettes and dropped them in the weeds.
And we never hurt each other, no, not even once.
We took photos of what we wanted to see from each other's eyes
We took photos of what we want to remember and I want to remember the sparkle in your eye.
I'm not going to forget the nights we spent,
Throwing rocks towards the road trying not to hit the cars that drove by
Sharing ourselves, making meanings,
Crumbling and putting myself back together in your arms.
Carving memories into the backs of my eyes so that when I wake up to each new sun they reflect through the windows of my soul
