I remember
Our parents were friends
When your parents' love met separate ends
I told you it's okay to cry
And you said
I must not be a very tough guy
And you're right
I'm anything but
Then you cried
We grew up together
You filled in your t-shirts much faster
You outgrew our friendship
No matter
I'll settle for missing your laughter
From across the room
Think I always knew I needed you
Before I even knew what needing you was
And I spent my youth hiding in plain view
But you
Weren't afraid of messing things up
I told your sister all about it
"I think I could see it"
But she's just being nice
And I prayed to no one that you'd wake up
Once, or twice, or a hundred times
Do you remember
You asked me to climb in your sleeping bag
Awake in freezing night air
Of October
So I did, but not because of that
I used to blush at your face on the internet
Right before I went to bed
'Cause you're only mine
When you're inside of my head
And you didn't speak of it the next day
And we didn't speak again till we graduated
You flashed me the same smile you had then
You whispered you missed what we had been
And I'll admit
That I never outgrew this
