Lately my head has been filled with memories of you. Daydreams and fleeting thoughts that make the hours tick by. Memorable flashes of moments shared with you, each one unique and valuable. Every detail seems to be exaggerated, every word spoken louder, every laugh more boisterous, every hug held tighter, every hand squeezed harder. I think you get my point. Every time I think of you, it's like the moments are stretched out to last longer. Every memory of you is special in its own way.

One of my favorites, has definitely got to be of us spending the lunch hour together, sitting near the stairs. You sat up against the wall, that annoying wall with gaudy colors displaying some cliché theater theme. I sat just next to you, facing the wall. We talked on and on, it felt like more than just an hour.
I remember making some cheesy joke, and you laughed so hard it sent your arms flailing and your shoulders shook. When you finally put your arms down, one of your hands came to rest just on my leg, as if you were holding on to me...

I remember feeling my throat get tight, my heartbeat sped up a mile a minute. I wanted to sit there for an eternity. I wouldn't have minded cutting class if it meant I could stay there and keep making you laugh.

This memory is only one of the many that constantly play out in my head, an endless movie to be watched and enjoyed. I can't help but feel like there's an eternity of fragmented thoughts about you floating in my head, and I cannot wait to expand those memories, create new ones entirely. Because you are my eternity.
