Reminisce

I still remember how ridiculous you looked

Wearing the fake, blue graduation cap

With the tassel hanging down one side

It didn’t fit you right, and neither did I

But even so, I loved you then.

I can still see your nervous, knowing glance

As I sat across from you at dinner

Trying not to crack at the day’s events

Everyone else knew it, too, and yet,

Never until now did I wonder why—and what—you told them

Last you said, you didn’t really remember it

But how could you forget my most daring deed?

Never before and never since—

You are one of a kind, for me to be bold

Is there more to the story that I’ve never known?
