Kellee was one of my childhood best friends. She made me laugh, encouraged me, and I hope I made her as happy as she made me. I'd like to share a poem I wrote for her:
For Kellee
It was a golden afternoon
Like so many, but on this one
Into the classroom walked bright you,
Trailing California sun.
I don´t remember much of when
We were so young and full of flame
But often I replay again
Memories filed under your name,
Because, and why, I´ve never known
Somehow they´ve stayed much clearer than
Before you, when I felt more alone
And after you, would not again.
I try to parse out day from day
Each funny moment in our past
But can´t write about you this way
Because the number is so vast.
How can I honor you with such
Mere words in just the way I should,
But how to not at least this much?
You thought my poetry was good.
You seemed like all that I was not,
And so much I aspired to.
I kept it an unspoken thought,
But gods, did I look up to you.
And now, I guess whenever I
Think on those golden afternoons
I´ll tilt my head up to the sky
That´s brighter now because of you.
Thank you, Kelleelee, for everything.
