I don’t know who I’m talking to

Sometimes I wonder

If you remember

That night?


It was dark and light all at once

Fire lit

A volleyball we couldn’t see

A game we couldn’t play

People I didn’t know

I could be with 

Like that.


And when I tell you this,

I don’t know who I’m talking to,

But it was a gift,

That marshmallow you roasted for me,

The game you let me join,

The stories you told.


I don’t know if the magic

Was sparkling in the air

Where you could feel it too,

Probably not

But it sure was

Stitched in my heart

That night.


The night I found new friends

Joy

Laughter

Endless

Happiness

You gave me the gift

Of a memory

Untinted

Forever.
