Red-Velvet Cupcakes

Remember when the Kindness Cafe existed?

Remember how we’d go after Joey’s class?

It was February and they had cheap Red-Velvet Cupcakes-

We’d buy some and eat under the stairs-

We’d be sneaky, and not be told off-

We would get yelled at, though, since cupcakes aren’t healthy…

Who gives a damn, we were happy in our club house-

We talked about our fears, and the perils of catholic school and many secrets-

Remember how beforehand we would joke and laugh in Joey’s class?

Remember how I’d almost always be late since I was getting my coffee?

Remember Annie, and “I miss David!" and that wretched ‘Beach Party’?

Remember how on the day of silence you were the only one I talked to-

You were the translator, and I couldn’t help talking to you!

That was such a nice February! 

It’s kind of like this again-

We’re spending Valentine’s day together!

We’re seeing Joey!

Cabaret happened then, too, and I confided in you-

We rightfully mocked the movie version-

As we mocked many of the movies we had to sit through

But it wasn’t mean-ness, it was something we enjoyed doing!

Beach Party- Oy Vey!

But with you it made every second of the awful ones worth it!

And this here certainly isn’t awful!

I am so glad to be spending Valentines Day with you-

Happy Valentines Day, Terese
