you

Night drives remind me of you. How you said you would get a car when you were 16.

Wind in the leaves of trees make me think of you. How you said you liked soft noises.

Rain makes me remember you. How you said you hated the smell of rain because it was only earthworms surfacing.

Fire reminds me of you. Your lit blunt and the love of candles we shared.

Piano music makes me think of you. How you said when we moved in together you'd let me practice with your sheet music.

Early mornings make me remember you. How you'd procrastinate and wrote essays at 2am. How you hummed me to sleep.

Tiny plants remind me of you. How you thought is was cute when I said "cactuses". How you said we'd own a multitude of small potted plants.

High ponytails and twin buns make me think of you. How you'd always play with my hair and say that "it was too moist" after I washed it. How you liked my hair when it was up.

Hairless cats make me remember you. How you said we'd own a lot of pets just because I wanted them. How we would have matching sweaters. You, me, and the cats.

Leggings make me think of you. How you would wear them and let me rub your legs because they were soft.

Stuffed animals make me remember you. How you got me a bear for our first Valentine's day together.

Seeing fathers in public reminds me of you. How we both had shitty families and our dads left.

Movie theaters make me think of you. How you were my first kiss when we watched Winchester. How we always wanted to watch things but never got around to it.
