Feeling: happy
I sold my memories today,
each one tearing into the sky,
going to where dreams lay
under the ocean where ships pass them by.
I sold them to a man
who spoke of home;
he was a lot older than me,
but he reminded me of you.
He reminded me of your hair
and your eyes that never failed to see;
your words that would tear my mind
and pick me apart.
He reminded me of the grass
and the happy green,
imprinted backs and the silence
from the trees around.
He reminded me of the ocean
washing upon the shore,
the way the moon reflects
on the boats as they drive homeward.
He reminded me of the busy street,
the way the cars would see us walking,
the way we used to sing songs
and become careless.
He reminded me of you and my heart,
the way we would look at each other-
the same way one looks
into the dark for a light.
He was a lot older than me,
but he reminded me of you.
