Remember when?
Oh man, remember when we were little and used to want to do the splits? And the adults said, "practice a little every day, and eventually you'll be able to do them?" Remember how we never did?
Remember when we'd see our crushes in the halls, and then giggle and gossip over them and the cute things they'd done that day in between sets at practice?
Remember how eerie the lights looked under the water at the J, as we dinked around and cooled down?
Remember how I'd cry every time I struck out in little league, and how often that was?
Remember how we'd play catch together, out on the street, father and daughter?
Remember when we went to 8 hours of school a day, had off-campus lunch, participated in an after school sport and academic endeavor, did homework, and still had time to get 8 hours of sleep a night?
Remember how you'd throw me off the dock, and I'd try in vain to push you in?
Remember when I had a quote from you, with a picture of the only perfect place I've ever known, to remind me of times when things were simple, to remind me the importance of smiling, and being happy?
Oh wait, that's now.
