Distant Memories

I remember waiting till the strike of midnight on your birthday, you were officially 21 and legal to get into the bar. We watched the stars and smoked the time away. 

We used to stay out till 2am bar hopping at the local dives

I remember doing 70mph in a 50 and running all the red lights. We were reckless and we owned it. 

I remember when I lost my phone and you kept me calm. My whole life was on that thing and you helped me retrace my steps. it flew off the roof of your car onto a railroad track. 

Now you're thousands of miles away and we barely speak. I miss our conversations, your laugh, your words of encouragement. 

All the pictures are gone now, that damn phone updated itself, deleting all the memories of our escapades. 

Now all I have are the memories in my head. I pray they never fade away. 

I try to hold on to those feelings as hard as I can. 

The saddest thing of all is knowing that one day I won't remember how I felt when we were together. 

I wonder what your new life is like. I wonder what you're eating, what your wearing, how your hair looks, how you spend your time. 

Now you're just a distant memory....
