the red stories on paper napkins,
the "secret spot" (because it all ends with two people on a park bench),
the seven nation army who used pink cutlery,
the war movies they played on special days,
the super quiz of half past mornings,
the ripped plastic cups I set on fire,
the summer captured on film,
the misguided hand-drawn maps,
the stolen mars on faded paper,
the glittering butterflies we could never hear.
