Dear Darien

Contributor: Shaquana Adams

In this memory you picked me
up from my parents house.

Your scent filled the car
and your hand filled my hand.

Evermore,
I sat and looked at you
and thought “I should savor
this moment”.
You laughed and said those words.

Realizing we skipped a step,
you stopped at a stop sign, leaned over,
and kissed me.
