In Your Memory

I get high school butterflies of a girl backstage

Making ready for practice

As everyone sings a song about Star Wars

And she,

she’s crouched on the ground

watching

He, he sung along with the crowd

Spun like a silly thing

So the theater lights glanced off his glasses with dark frames.

She could never resist dark frames

She found silly endearing

And he was encompassing

 

He makes her remember things that never happened

But he gave her high school butterflies years after she should have had them

She pretends to be there, and watches him carefully.
