You Remind Me

You Remind Me

Alexa Manna


You remind me of a long and dragged out summer’s day

The kind where you do not have a care in the world

The kind where you lie in the soft blades of the gentle green grass looking up at the baby blue sky

The kind where ice-cold lemonade tastes perfect

The kind where the warm breeze, the one that’s as light as a feather, runs from our scalp to your toes.


You remind me of those perfect and carefree feelings

Like how your gut feels when you can’t stop laughing, no matter how hard you try

Like how you feel when you listen to your favorite song on repeat, mastering every lyric and beat until it sounds like home

Like how you feel when you get into your soft, warm, safe bed after a long day

You remind me everyday of what pure happiness feels like.
