You swung hard. The ball soared through the sir, landing far away. You ran and ran, throwing the bat down. Already at second base, going so far in a matter of seconds. Your eyes engaged, you keep track of everything around you.
Everything but me, watching from a safe distance. You made it home and threw your arms around her neck, a smile on her face. I smile, too. Happy than you're happy.
My smile fades, yours gets brighter. Silent tears fall from my eyes. You're beautiful in everything you do.
Your laugh echoes its way to me. I miss that laugh and way you were up for anything.
I stand and watch as you sit, waiting for your turn to come again. I know they will. You're smart and charming.
You make me laugh and make me feel alive.
I'm far away now, walking back to my car. I wipe the tears away and know its goodbye. Never again will I see you in this summer light.
You laugh again. It wraps itself around me and know I'll keep the memory tucked far away, safe.
But for now, I close the door and drive away.
