Don't Forget Me

July 5

A date? Are you kidding me, Rosie? Why are you pretending to like this guy? Why are you even thinking about dating, anyway? I feel like you have plenty on your plate right now trying to remember the last two years.

It literally makes no sense.

Unless you're giving up.

God.

Please don't give up.

Because with how I just reacted I don't think you're going to want to be hanging out with me unless you do remember. It just took me by surprise... and well, what was I supposed to say when I hear my girlfriend is going out with some dude? Plus you told me coming right off the heels of our conversation about the future we almost had together. I just couldn't take it. And I can't explain how I know you won't like him, because I can't tell you any of this. This whole situation is impossible, Rosie.

I look at that photograph I have of you every single night, the one you almost found today, and I tell myself that we've already faced so much together, we can overcome this, too. But with each passing day... it feels like you're slipping further and further away from me.

I won't give up, though. I will never give up on you.

Being back in the woods did nothing to jog your memory like we both hoped, but I have to believe that something will. This Oliver thing is just temporary. Maybe it'll even be a good thing. Maybe when it falls flat, you'll realize why. You'll remember that this isn't you. You'll remember me.
