Clarissa

"One day we’ll sit together and you will ask me about this time.

I’ll tell you that this was then, this was me, this was us. You were that small and I was that young.

I’ll tell you things about yourself that you didn’t already know, and I’ll be the first to admit that I was not perfect. But I was there for you. We were there for each other.

I’ll tell you that these were the best days. Of us doing everything some days and nothing other days. It all went too fast.

I may not think to tell you, but I’ll want to relive this.

I’ll want to go back to just us. To be more than an after thought. But I won’t be able to. So I will take you back there with me, with my photos, and my stories and my memories triggered by all of the little things I keep to remind me of this time.

We will relive it, together. One day. But for now, let me live it longer."
