And I think, god, if only we could go back to before. To when everything was easy— to when I didn’t know how much I cared.

I remember you in shades of laughter drunken giggles, raucous howls that dissolve into breathless gasps, and even that time we ended a fight because we couldn’t stop laugh-crying in an elevator— right before we closed the doors on everyone else.

I was fearless, then.

thanks @straycatreadsthat for the pep talk :p <3

I’ve recycled a lot of imagery from some of my other poems, but I kinda liked this incarnation. No formal structure for this one, but I tried to do long first lines that “trail off” (I’m sure there’s some fancy poetic term for that)

quiet, girl, quiet

sweet things should stay silent here
