Anything

This song sounds like spring 
The joy we had 
Sitting in the grass
As it stained your white overalls 
That your mother embroidered 
With purple flowers 
Your favorite color

It sounds like the way 
You would laugh anytime 
I would say anything 

It sounds like our innocence 
And like our fear 
The fear we experience 
Yet it sounds like our joy too 

It sounds like the end of that year 
The feeling in my chest 
When I know something is over 
When I just wanted it to last

This song sounds like you 
The singer sounds like your voice 
As you comforted me 
And you let me tell you 
My honest truth 

It sounds like the conversations we had 
While you ate your pomegranate seeds 
The juice dripping from your mouth 
As you hold the camera I gave you for your birthday 

It sounds like my mind 
When I would stare into your eyes 
Bright green emerald 
Piercing my mind
Comforting my heart

And I'll have this song on repeat 
So I think of you constantly 
Because you're the only thing 
I miss about then 
I truly miss you

    I'm 14. 
    And I just saw Bruce Springsteen
    Live for the first time. 

    I've loved him and his music since I was 6. 
    I've listened to him religiously since I was 7.

    018751 this was the lunch code I was given 
    My first day of third grade 
    My teacher wrote on my hand 
    With a green marker that smelled like berries 

    018751 this was the passcode for my first email
