remember when we would run in the woods
and my daddy would chase us?

you used to laugh
when he got us.

remember when you cried when your sister left for college
and i told you i was still here?

the tears dried
almost instantly.

remember when my ice cream dropped at six flags
so we just shared?

your daddy scolded us
and bought two new ones.

remember your 6th birthday
and it was raining outside?

i told you the sky
was crying for your birthday.

do you remember?

i do.
