Street Lights and Lace

“I remember every metaphor I used for you.

It’s beautiful how quickly I ran out.

It was just so difficult to describe

a forest at the bottom of an ocean on fire.

You were soft,

I was quiet.

I remember every park bench,

every broken sidewalk,

every open sky.

It was so whole.

I remember breathing,

and the lovely amount of effort it required.

I hope you do too.

They say writers remember the important things;

I say they are liars.

I remember you wore a purple flannel

the first time I saw you,

even though it isn’t your favorite color.

I remember that you take your coffee black,

and your tea with plenty of honey.

I remember the way your eyes changed color

based on the weather,

and the way you looked at the sky,

like it was endless.

You were endless.

I remember everything you taught me.

They say writers remember the important things;

I remember you.”

Hi, hello. It’s been a moment since we’ve last spoke. I’ve learned a lot about myself lately: I was built for coffee shops not bars, formals are fun, I have chill people in my life, I think I know what I want to do with my life, consistency is hard, I take too many polaroids, and I love you a lot. I was literally jumping up and down when the package came in the mail! The theme for our sorority’s formal was “Red Rose Ball” so naturally, the dresses were supposed to be long– I kind of feel like I cheated a bit, but it felt like the perfect opportunity to buy this dress I’ve been swooning over for months! This Forever Love and Lemons dress didn’t let me down! It is absolutely flawless, from the delicate lace detailing to the mesh illusion. I’m still stunned by how intricate it’s made. I can’t wait for another opportunity to wear it out!
