Just Survive Somehow


You think of her and wonder

if she still exists.

In my head she'll wander

Unreplaced by you.

Her curly hair and big blue eyes.

Those days we would make

Macaroni art and when slides

Were long and scary. 

The smell of my old lunchbox

Always brings her back. 

From my hands, I see it drops

And she picks it up. 

You think of her and wonder,

"If I can't miss her,

Surely, no one would remember."

This is super cool! I was actually thinking about that concept this morning and it's awesome that you wrote about it at the same time. 😄
Great job, keep up the great work!
