You were one of the boys everyone had a crush on. Though most had an eye on your twin brother, Blake, I liked your expressive eyebrows and your toothy grin. I liked that you laughed out loud at your books when we had our personal reading hour. But I don’t think I hardly ever spoke to you- just hid in the back of things and watched. Sixteen plus years later, I’m walking across my college campus- and I recognise you and your brother, and look down- but as I pass, release my held breath, and brush the memories aside- You say my full name-
You remember me.
And that is the greatest gift anyone can give another human being.
I remember you, too.
