Spotted Mind Joy

I remember taking you home from school, and wondering who is this silly girl that likes my taste in music. You were nervous about our first date. I thought we were just hanging out. I remember realizing how strict your mother was. I stayed with you anyways. I remember crying just because I loved you. You squeezed my hand. I missed you so much while I was gone, I printed out a picture of us and put it on my grandmother's refrigerator. I winked at you at the end of my shows. You smiled at me whenever I said no. I remember deciding not to rush, and we were perfectly content. You didn't want to spend time with me before I left for school. I cried for a different reason now. The watch you gave me stopped working. I remember thinking about how ironic that was. Time was lost. You changed your mind, but you also changed mine. I was in a new world. I told you what would happen when you left for school, you didn't believe me. I remember you coming home after your first semester. Everything was as expected, yet I was still surprised. I remember when you told me what had happened. I told myself I didn't care. I told you that you should care. I remember realizing that I wanted you out of my life. I remember waking up, and realizing that on the other side of the country, we were probably still holding hands on my grandmother's refrigerator.
