Remember It

Remember that one time

when you sailed your boat too far
and you got lost in the night
when you left without saying goodbye
when your heart was filled too the brim with tears, but they never did surface? 
Remember that happy day

of your graduation
your family reunion
of that one day that you decided to try a burrito and it changed your life?

Remember how your parents smiled

when you returned home from a sleepover camp
when you told then you missed them
when you won your first soccer game
when you went to get ice cream and said you could pay for theirs too?

And MAKE SURE you remember how you felt at the beginning of this crazy pandemic, and how you feel at the end,

because you'll regret it if you don't

    Why does it feel
    like I'm being pushed back to the
    lonely
    unpredictable
    days of 2020

    The Spring was a beginning of
    something no one knew about
    it was strange and confusing
    and made me hurt with longing

     Things are getting better
    but still not great
    only just barely good compared to what we had before...

     We were so lucky
    to have our friends always by our sides
    literally!

    So yeah it has gotten better
