Day By Day, Life Goes On

Frankie.

There was so much about him.

I can see the day I met him.

Like it was yesterday.

Maybe he reminded me of my first crush.

He reminded me of Lolita.

It was the first day of my senior year.

Frankie was a few years below me.

In class with Mikey.

But he quickly became my best friend.

I shared everything with him.

From secrets to songs.

He could play guitar.

So beautifully.

But I couldn’t tell him that.

That would’ve ruined everything.

That one secret that had to remain mine.

That I loved him.

I still love him.
