Funny, the stupid things I remember

Funny, the stupid things I remember.

I never remember the important stuff,

Like addresses or birthdays

Or parties or hangouts

Or last names.

But I remember my second grade teacher's dogs were Rachel and Quimby

I remember the first "wormy" toy I got was in third grade

I remember the exact orders

Me and my best friend in the whole world

Ordered at the ice cream place

And I remember the tree we talked under

And I can't go there anymore

Can't go anywhere

Can't talk to people

If I keep running

Who could catch me?

Funny, the stupid things I remember

But they're never the things that matter.

  • Replaced memories

    You created memories

    And then got to move on

    Leaving them untouched and perfect

    Mine are being trampled.

    Walked all over by my friends

    My peers

    I can't DO this

    This constant emotional bombardment

  • Careful

    And it feels the same

    But in the worst way possible

    And I hate this 

    More than I hated last year

    At least last year

    I cared

    What I wouldn't give to care now
