Okay, the prompt today for the PAD (day 9) was a memory. Here goes:

A Memory: My Best Friend

“Mammories! Do it on mammories!”
That’s what you said tonight when I told you about the prompt.
The prompt on a memory I kept forgetting to think about it.

But I remember when I first met you.
Tangled up with snapshots of sitting in your car at Herfy’s
on a cold day,
showing up to school in matching pink shirts,
snippets of Soft Cell and Amy Grant.

Step by step we moved away from being sixteen.
But never quite moved away from each other.

I see you across the room and it’s not memories (or mammories)
but a memory.
One long memory marching down the years
from then
till now.
