this one's on the shorter side :) most of it is fabricated, but it's more of an idea than a solid recollection of events that transpired... lol i'm so wordy... enjoy!

P.S. THANK YOU FOR 1.4K READS!!

we

associate

people with things

i do it too

i associated

him

the first one

with incense sticks

vanilla will always

hold the sound

of his laugh

within it

i associated

him

the second one

with that song

by billie eilish

everything i wanted

i think it's called

and i'll always

remember

him

as the tapping of

keys

on a piano

notes hummed

under my breath

ocean waves

ghosting across

the sandy shore

but i'll associate

you

with happiness

with the one

time in my life

that i found it

truly

and whenever i

smile

i'll think of yours

whenever i

open a present

on christmas day

i'll remember

the way it felt

to kiss you

to hold you

to love you

when i get

married

someday

to someone else

because you would

never

marry me

i'll smile and

throw my

bouquet

and i'll think of

you

when elation

fills my heart

and joy is found

in abundance

in my soul

because you

taught me

how to be

happy

and for that

i will always be

thankful
