Part One

We sang the same songs, we danced and kissed on stage. Can you remember that song?

You reminded me how to keep on going when I just couldn’t move. One step at a time.

In bright colors orange and blue, we stood and cheered as the midnight struck and the angels disappeared. 

Remember the moon that October evening? We walked through the cemetery and ran when we were convinced a ghost was chasing us?

We held each other tight as our lips brushed ignored that tinder box we ignored. 

We went our separate ways, you went to college and I walked on the supposed yellow brick road. 

Remember that night I called you, I was drunk and it was 3 in the morning? You said you missed me but could not see me anymore. No explanation I didn’t need one. 

Now all these years later, we see each other here and there, barely any words, yet the silence speaks volumes.

I just want to say hi and tell you that although many dreams have escaped me, so many dreams have graced me. 

I hope you are content and you are at ease with life. Happiness is an emotion that is fleeting, sadness can become consuming. I know you understand, you taught me, remember?

If you are reading this, know that I am on top of the world and that myreality is better than any of those dreams that disappeared once the 6a alarm clock rang. 

Drop a line, write a letter, give me a smile and say hello next time. I’m not looking to rekindle anything, but it would be nice to reminise.
