While you were away . . .

S o m e   T h i n g s   I   D o n ' t    W a n n a   F o r g e t

1. The sound of you coming across the balcony at night.  Sometimes I still hear your door closing and the balcony creeking and it makes me remember hundreds of sneaky trips to check up on me, fight, and everything else.
2. Putting your earrings on night stand before going to sleep.
3. Every night as we went to bed, opening the doors to our apartments, then stepping inside of yours to kiss good night.  Every single night!  Boy, I looked forward to that
4. I clearly remember my first exposure to your vast children's book collection: There we were out on the balcony in the freezing cold, curled up under a blanket reading Dr. Seuss.   Shortly after, we threw the couch over the balcony.  I thought that was a little strange,  but I didn't know the half of it.
