Find Me

By Rosie Perkinson

help me happiness
find me
nurture me
love me
cure me

i remember you
but i'm afraid you don’t remember
me
i remember sunny days
the simple joy of lemonade
the loveliness of a thoughtful gesture
that didn’t need to be done
sitting in the back of a pickup truck
laughing
our feet covered in mud
i remember
do you?

a nice cashier
a friendly neighbor waving from across the street
an art piece that you’re just 
so 
proud 
of
the first warm summer day
the first day back to school
the first crush
the first love
i hope you remember
do you?

dance parties
karaoke nights
late-night talks
splashing in puddles
singing in the rain
pillow fights
joking of the unthinkable
getting bored of the predictable
you don’t remember
do you?

give me back my smiles
my laugh
my sun
my love 
my life
remember me

help me happiness

Love me
Laugh with me
Sing with me 
Dance with me 
Help me
Be embarrassed with me
Lay under the clouds with me
Reminisce with me
Find me
Remember me
Remember finding me

please.
