i keep looking at photos 

from the past 

scrolling 

up 

up 

up 

trying to immerse myself in the memories 

that were the best time of my life 

meeting the seniors 

football games

late nights at the theater 

hand intertwining with new friends 

the feelings that i felt 

the smiles that i smiled 

the laughter that i shared 

now

my hands shake 

my eyes water 

my vision goes blurry 

my head hurts

i know i’ll never have it back 

yet
