This piece was written about my very first love and the little things in my life that will probably always remind me of this person. Once somebody makes a home in your heart, there truly is never a way to evict them.

My Memory

And I will remember you

In neon lights in front of colorful games

In the backseats of cars

At the bottom of wine bottles

And I will remember you

In parking lots and wooded trails

In basements and rain storms

At every red light and intersection

And I will remember you

In the blankets on my bed

Between my knuckles and underneath my fingertips

At every ice cream parlor soaked in sunset

And I will remember you.
