i remember,
do you remember?
remember when
we ate ice cream
in that little cafe
downtown
and i dyed
your hair
in your bathroom?
when you found pretty
shells
on the beach
and wrote 'i love you' in the sand,
i remember that too.
do you remember?
do you remember laying on
that
hammock
in the park,
under the sun
even though we both
had to go
home.
i remember how it felt,
leaning into your shoulder
and how amazing
it was
the first time i held your hand.
i felt so strong
in that moment,
and in all the moments i spent with you.
like i could do anything
with you,
limitless joy
and like all the day until our fiery end
would be
filled with our laughter.
i remember.
"what's your greatest fear?" you asked.
i told you, "being forgotten."
do you remember?
