that day in Spanish class

and honestly
I find it so strange
because 
I still remember 
your pink and green walls 
and the crack across your dresser
I remember exactly how
to sit in your bean bag
so it would surround your perfectly 
I remember the four tomato plants 
in your backyard
I remember how much you loved 
greys anatomy
I remember the way
you snorted when you laughed 
and that you couldn't sleep past 9:15
I remember your first phone case
and how you cried 
when he broke up with you
I remember your favorite candle
and where you tucked your spare key 
I know that your kitchen is unorganized
and you have a spider plant
that sits on the far left of your corner
I remember how much you liked
to see me smile
and I remember
the day I realized
that I
could memorize everything
and it would still mean nothing
to you.
