I remember

I remember in 3rd grade

When I first came up to you

And asked you to be my friend

On the first day of school


I remember when we built a fort

In the classroom on pajama day,

When I brought my pillows from home

And we all had fun


I remember going to your birthday

And not knowing what to get you

And we went downstairs 

And played around


I remember when I had that wedding

By the side of the school

Where no one could see us

And we played music in the background


I remember when I came to class

With my book of sketches

That I traced off my tablet

And you said they were cool


I remember the last day of school

We said we would stay friends

And you signed my yearbook


I remember the day before junior high

When I knew I would find you

And we’d be friends again

But I never did


I remember when we were friends

And we talked and laughed

But now it’s gone

And you don’t even know me

This piece was written by me about my old elementary friend who ghosted me once we got into middle school. I've had lots of thoughts about her, wondering if I could have done anything to make her friends with me again. I still miss her, but I think she hates me.
