Cherish the moments
with those who make you feel seen
as they won’t come again
for you to laugh with them.
Some are emotional.
Some are filled with joy.
Keep souvenirs
even if it’s just a picture of all your long-distance friends
and close ones smiling and laughing
for those times will never come again.
Sometimes happy and joyful.
Sometimes simple and plain.
