I bought a Mcflurry today, it still tastes of you no matter were I go; Not you but the memories of you, each spoonful or half spoon brings back a bit of you.
I’m a movie character having flashbacks, unlike the movies only I see the memories, unless you read this, so will you
The memories are so quick, sharp, like the expansion of bubble gum between the lips. There’s a build up, this small huge amount of air, and then a sudden pop
All of it going away, and then the memories build again. I got cherry or strawberry flavor, you got chocolate, yet I see your hand creeping towards my ice cream like a naughty child… you take a spoonful and I look at you… the spoon lingering in your mouth.
You dip it back into your ice cream and take a spoonful, and I see the spoon heading towards my mouth.
It’s all so innocent, so childish yet looking at it now, it’s such huge gesture, romantic even.
The bubble gum pops out again. A new memory swirvs like a clicking sound of a cassette on repeat.
What are we doing? We’re sitting in silence, just lying there next to each other like the rest of the World doesn’t exist. It’s strange how we’re able to do this for hours, but I guess our fingers tugging on each other is all the conversation we need to have.
Being in a memory of you drowns me; it suffocates me; each time I think it’s giving me a breath of air as I drown in the happenings of life, I realize, it, the memory is the ocean that pulls me back, to drown.
I wish I could swim, so I could butterfly in these memories of you, we humorously both know that I can’t swim.
I am not bothered to learn either. It’s the first I’m admitting that, guess I am fed with the statements ‘you should learn, it’s so easy’ I’m sure it is, but I don’t want to fuckin swim.
It’s strange how a simple ice cream can be so delicious yet so cruel at the same time.
