"The Comfort

Place."
I miss the way we talked- the
way laughter filled every silence
can i just stay here?
spend the rest of my days here...
and the way our eyes turned
into cresent moons as our wrinkles folded in joy. I miss the endless inside
jokes that made me feel like we were the only ones left in the world. I'll
even miss the countless pep talks we'd get from being the loudest class. For
a long time I never thought I'd be able to fit 21 people in my heart- but I
guess you all didn't think so either. I can't imagine feeling like this ever again-
It was like home away from home. A place I believe I will always come
back to even if it's just through fading stories, photographes, and yellowing
papers. You all will be the people I think about when my grandchildren ask
about my childhood. I'll remember us like an old love song smiling fondly as I
sing the lyrics to our memories- and perhaps by then I'll realize that first love
doesn't have to be romantic. Heres to reaching our
dreams, even if it means not being together.
Goodbye to my childhood, it was fun while it lasted.
