fond memories of you, too

•  meeting your red whiskered face
• watching you perform for the first time as a band
• watching you perform for the first time as a man
• feelings of warmth and comfort
• long hugs after long disappointments
• dancing on your birthday
• the whole bar singing me happy birthday because of you
• eating hippie food by the beach, sharing memories and values
• realizing your fame
• romaine lettuce in the fish tank
• sweaty post-show hugs
• smiling to a perfect mix tape
