Time

It takes time before it means something.

Time before reality hits

and time before you realize that local pizza place has become a place of significance.

A place where friends went after AP tests and long summer days out —

A place of first dates and more.

Time before you realize three summer days were the best days.

Seeing an opposing team in an opposing land.

Three days of perfection ending with a night at Madison Square Garden.

Going up the stairs and looking down on Mayer—

Who knew three days, three locations, could create such perfection.

The three best days of many.

The three best days of a season.

The three best of a year.

The three best.
