Those particular you's - my under 21 life

[michaelboy]

I may never revisit those who were an essential part of my young me, but I will never forget and value the reverie of when:

you asked me to kiss you, braces and all - at the park because you knew I was too shy to ask,

or the place behind the school under the Ginko tree where we entangled ourselves - teenagers rolling around on the ground,

or that shared kiss on the cheek - behind the coat rack at the roller skating rink,

or when we drove out on the gravel back roads under the powerlines and made out in your parent's green Dodge,

or that night during the swim dance at the community pool where you held me up in the water as we kissed and spun around to the music,

or how I drove us around on the back roads in my dad's car for 127 miles but never stopping even though I wanted to, but didn't have the courage to do so,

or seeing you by chance on the next street over from my parent's house - kissing but never mentioning or talking about it ever again,

or when you sat next to me because you were worried for me at that party - stroking my hair because I was mostly passed-out from taking too many recreational drugs,

or when our friend drove us around while we made out in the back of her mom's old blue station wagon,

 

or when we laid on the thick red shag carpet of your 3rd floor apartment - together all night long and simply fell asleep looking at each other.

I have no words, but I need to say something. No words. Just pieces of my heart in my hands. Look, some of them look like yours.
