A brown piece of string that looks like an octopus

A wad of purple-flowered weeds

A blue-black-yellow striped jacket

The scent that smells like purple


A spilled strawberry shake at Sonic

Old ketchup on fries

Mustard that stains yellow

Spurting water everywhere


Five playlists on YouTube

The game 20Q

A list of movies and animes to watch and things to do

Classic rock and 102.1 The Edge


An old abandoned baseball

Hot chocolate at Starbucks

Noodles from strange places

Napkins


Spongebob macaroni

Cupcakes frosted with Nutella

Chocolate wrapped in red ribbon

Protons and electrons


A green sticky note on your windshield

A tennis ball in my truck

A jaw harp for your birthday

Piano


Pokemon Sapphire for Gameboy Advance

Mario Kart for Wii

Super Smash Bros. at my house

And Zelda at yours


Shoelaces that are always untied

Glasses with lots of smudges

A small yellow sundress and purple packages in your wallet

The color blue


Lewisville Lake and Goatman’s Bridge

Railroad tracks and Hideaway

Books called Treasure Island, The Kite Runner, and Howl’s Moving Castle

Bricks at the library


Fight Club and calculus

Cotton candy lip balm

Poptarts in a toaster at school

Spaghetti dinner


Horse races in the spring

Six Flags Over Texas

A piece of your blue jeans

Pennies before 1982


A plastic egg filled with candy

Purple shorts that I wore

Olan Rogers, James Watt, Nikola Tesla

The Company of Myself


A small bit of drizzle in the sky

The veins in your right arm

A brand new blue denim dress worn for you

The turn onto 1171


These are the things that remind me

These are the things I hold close

These are the things I won’t forget

These are the things that are you
