she remembered bits and pieces
of what love felt like to her
how one person was her focus
and everyone else a shapeless blur

she remembered stolen kisses
cheesy texts and warm embraces
easily finding her favorite person
in a sea of a hundred faces

she remembered late night phone calls
the ever-present butterflies
how her laughter came so easy
thanks to the boy with the smiling eyes

bittersweet as it always was
she liked to remember that love was kind
it helped to put her heart at ease
and songs of sadness left her mind.
