Where did eight years go?
I don't feel any different
And these steps are just the same
But now the 64 is in my pocket
And the SNES is in my phone
The Gameboy is in my desk
Waiting for a rainier day
The greatest gift you ever gave me
Was loved more Secondhand than first
The time before you has faded
So much I barely remember
Sitting on these steps with you
Made my life real.

The year Talen and I first went to TAFE, he saved his arse off and used the money he earned from his first real job to buy me a GameboyColor. It was second-hand, with burn-marks on the case and a no battery door, but it was my favourite colour and it came with Pokemon Gold.
Of course, that's not the gift in the poem.
Anyway, walking past the same steps where we used to sit and Mystery Gift while we waited for Mum to pick us up has made me quite nostalgic :3
