thebiggestgirl

I dragged on the dusty road, and I remember

How the girl looked over the fence at me 

And seemed to know

How it felt to be three, and called out, I remember

'Do you like bilberries and cream for tea?'

I went under the tree

And while she hummed, and the cat purred, I remember

How she filled a saucer with berries and cream for me

So long ago,

Such berries and such cream as I remember I never had seen before, and never see

To-day, you know. 

It won't mean much to you. It does to me.

We grew up, you see. 

Together. Together.
