it's been
years
since i've
leaned on

                 a tree.

i'll never ask if you remember
that patch of grass i sat on
when you straddled my lap.

i'll never ask if you remember
the way you tugged at my hair
and made me feel like i was the breeze
that you breathed in under the leaves.

the tree
that stamped
a rosy imprint on
my back.

i'll never ask
if it is still there
and remembering

                                us.

for it's been
years
since we
left a story on

                 that tree.

will someone ask
if i remember the me
that i used to be?
