I remember everything about that day,
and our shadows walking down my block
were holding hands in the white sunlight.
it wasn't true, but it was pure
it left you empty, wanting more
i knew i'd never been there before
and i wouldn't have doubted you for one second
if you called me lucky.
we outlined our souls in sidewalk chalk
on the paved driveways
so that anyone who drove by
could get a glimpse of something
beautiful.
on our way hand-in-hand
popsicles from the ice cream man
in our own land of sidewalk crayons
i remember everything about that day.
