The museum was bustling
With people
When we arrived.
Children were running around
While their mothers conversed
Within their group.
It wasn't much of
A formal museum.
There was art
Hanging on the walls
In the lobby.
We walked past
A World War II
Memorial, and you
Told me stories
Your grandfather had told you
When you were young.
I kept a tight grip
On your arm,
Not just for
Fear of falling over,
But because I felt
Such fascination
With your love for history
And the wars.
I watched your face,
How your eyes lit up
As you spoke,
And how the corners
Of your mouth
Lifted up in a smile.
It was beautiful.
You were beautiful.
-
I started to feel woozy
After about an hour,
And you suggested
That we go home.
I shook my head,
Rejecting the offer,
But you still wanted
Me to sit down.
I'm fine,
I said, but
You would have
None of that.
I don't want to sit,
I'm okay. Let's just
Keep going.
You looked at me,
A concerned look
On your face,
And sighed.
Come on.
I raised an eyebrow
When you bent
Your knees.
Come on, get on.
I asked,
What are you
Talking about?
And you answered,
Piggyback style. Please,
Macy, I need you
To get on my back.
I laughed quietly.
I can't do that!
This is a museum!
You rolled your eyes
And smiled.
And I'm your friend.
So please, for the
Love of God, get on
My back right now.
I shook my head,
I'm not doing this.
You straightened your posture
And yelled sarcastically,
Macy, get it together!
I'm tired of all this
Crap! You never listen
To me!
People around us
Started to stare,
And blood rushes
To my cheeks.
Adam, be quiet, now,
I said, running up
To you and placing my
Hand on your chest.
I'll do it,
Just hush, please.
You gave me
A huge smile
And bent down once again.
Get on, Macy.
With a lot of effort,
And a lot of struggle,
I managed to
Climb my way
Onto your back.
I was breathless when
I finally got up,
But it was okay.
Are you happy now?
I whispered in your ear,
And you grinned.
More than happy.
