Pickle Dip

I'm sitting here 

Eating dill pickle dip

I'm remembering 

The grand adventure we went on

The first time

Our first fight

That should have been the 

Last red flag


The wonder at another person 

Making me a sandwich 

In the middle of the woods

Dill pickle dip 

And cucumbers

Ham and swiss

On the really good bread


Manifesting moose and bears

Getting lost 

Yet still finding our way

The steady crunching  

Bbq Humpty Dumpty chips

And my heart in your hands

Shallow conversation with depth


I'm pretty sure I tossed 

My brain out the window

And left my heart with you

Random cool rocks 

Tent farts

Or nature's bug repellant 

Breakfast sandwiches 

With the squirrels 

Acid on a mountaintop.


Libraries 

Ice cream and Disney

Cribbage and mules

Date nights turned nightmares

Messy

Rubbing shoulders and bjs

An astounding number 

Of uses for jalapenos

The stars and Mexican food 

Margaritas and queso

Magical

Beach combing and synchronicity 

Engaged with a soda tab

Comfort zoned

Us


So in love

I still am

It's like you're right there

Matching

Capable of so much

You could hold a masterclass

Destruction 

It was definitely you

Hindsight 

Spare me

I never wanted 

To have to unlearn you

I don't know you anymore

Did I ever


My best friend

And I'm still never 

Going to call you again 

No matter how many things 

You record yourself 

Wearing what I bought you 

The name of the game was always 

I paid

One way or another

It isn't just a song

In another life

Whatever fuck that means
