Thoughts

I can’t realize how fast time is going by.

I keep on remembering details of things that seem so unimportant to people... but really, I think that they’re the most important things worth remembering.

I remember the roof.

I remember the rush before going out to perform.

I remember the spray paint.

I remember her smell.

I remember the clothes I wore. The clothes she wore. The way she looked.

I remember my Mom’s face.

I remember how my heart skipped a beat when I realized who it was.

I remember the way the cobbled stone sounded as I walked towards the fountain.

I remember the conversations that took place not long after.

I remember the way his lips went as he exhaled the smoke from his cigarette.

I remember feeling the beat of the music in my body as I looked at you make your way through the crowd.

I remember giving my jacket to a person who was cold.

I remember trembling. I’m still not sure if it was because of the cold.

I remember seeing two friends hugging and crying because they hadn’t seen each other in so long.

I remember the song that I couldn’t stop listening to.

I remember laughing with friends because of school issues.

I remember confiding my feelings of sadness and uncertainty to a patient friend.

I remember a stranger stopping me while I was making my way outside and telling me that I was beautiful.

I remember finding it difficult to believe him but my body kept on telling me to smile - and smile I did.

And, one year later, I’m still smiling.
