Nostalgia
I remember the stairs to the beach where we carved our names.
I remember the sweet spiciness of cinnamon gum.
I remember the jagged rocks that pressed into our bare feet.
I remember the family who asked me to take their picture in front of the ocean.
I remember the rough fabric of your polo and the first time you put your arm around me.
I remember seeing my reflection in your sunglasses.
I remember sunburn.
I remember being the only people left on the beach.
I remember the wind tossing around my hair.
I remember the feeling of your hand on my shoulder.
I remember the sound of the waves blending with your laugh.
I remember you singing off-key to make me laugh too.
I remember laughing.
I remember chipped purple polish on my fingernails.
I remember walking to the lighthouse.
I remember holding hands.
I remember the sky turning gray and the distant sound of a thunderstorm.
And I remember the comfort I felt, despite the darkness, from being with you.
