I remember

I remember the nights when we had nothing else to do but talk;
When we ran through the grass, screaming about letting go.
And those days when we wore flip-flops and walked through the mud, regretting it later.
We used to sit in empty classrooms, talking about every mistake we ever made.
Listening to the radio, and smoking that sweet first cigarette on the beach.
We walked with strangers for a good laugh and we watched a soccer game.
I can recall the memories of us dancing in front of the school,
While taking endless pictures that no one else understood.
We walked the track when life hurt the most, and we played truth or dare; it changed our lives.
How you told me he made you forget about everything.
We could giggle for hours on an end for no particular reason.
There was this thing that somehow only we could believe in.
Back when words never had to be said to make a statement.
And though I always knew someplace else would've done great as well, we spent nights picking at flowers in the garden.
It's not hard to remember how we spent rainy days in the city,
And no other embrace ever made more sense than yours.
Watching TV never was as fun without you.
There were plenty of scary nights when we ran from a trick of light, our hearts pounding in our chests,
But the evenings when we somehow knew where we would end up the next morning were scarce.
The way we silently vowed to secrecy whenever you told me a secret.
But you never told us what we're supposed to do without you.
I guess I'll always remember how we spent your, our, the last day here.
Thank god we had the wind to teach us how to let go.
