Danyelle & Chris's Poem

'Remember'


Remember we were press to be the line leader?
Today we look back and we're in a daze.
Remember when we found that first teacher to connect with?
Leaving their class was like a maze.
Remember when we ate snacks and napped?
those were the times.
Remember we thought we were flowing,
when in reality it was only knock knock rhymes!
Remember when we had our favorite outfits,
and we thought we were "the stuff,"
Looking back now,
Damn, I was the most bammerish chick!
Remember the school crushes that you'd fight,
and also hit,
boom!
Remember when boys and girls had cooties,
By the next day you'd lock your lips.
Remember you found your first love
then y'all fell apart,
Remember the love they gave you,
and for whatever reason, you had to break his or her heart.
