i remembered my room.

the pale blue walls and the piles of books.

there were photos everywhere.

taped to my mirror, my headboard, my walls.

and i couldn't help but feel a throbbing

in my heart

because that boy- that grinning boy- was

in every single one.

i exhaled slowly, rubbing my temples

as i paced the floor.

and every time,

one of my floorboards would groan

calling out to me in a manner that made

me feel a wave of deja vu.

so, with a huff and a pull,

i tore the floorboard up

and felt around,

my hand pulling out a stack of dusty letters,

the first envelope reading

'lemonade.'
