I Still Remember

I still remember you-
Your soft voice and calming laugh.
I still remember your kisses-
The chapped lips and fresh mint taste.
I still remember your hugs-
Warm and full of love.

Yes, I still remember the times we had together.
The good and the bad.
I remember the love,
But I also remember the heartbreak.
The memories don't fade,
And I doubt they ever will.
What we had was strong,
But it was toxic.
I had to let you go.
And for that, you resent me.

I still remember your words-
Harsh and full of hate.
I still remember the pain
Of losing the one I loved.
I still remember the tears-
The final mark of our legacy.

Yes, I still remember you.
But I would much rather forget.
I opened up to you,
And gave you my everything.
You ripped my heart apart,
And I don't think it has ever healed.
I hope you know the damage you have caused
For it will last forever.

Yes, I still remember everything.
But now it's about time I let go.
I need to move on-
I know you have.
I'm just a distant memory to you,
But you take up all of mine.
I'll always love you,
But I don't regret letting go of you.

You were never good for me.
It took me too long to see that.
Have fun breaking other girls' hearts,
But I won't let you near mine again.
I was blinded by your love-
You were the first you see.
You knew that I was fragile,
But you just stomped all over me.
I still remember.
I will always remember.

I've been dealing with a lot of emotions lately and my heart just continuously hurts or gets hurt so I decided it was time to release some of that emotion on here in the form of writing. Thanks for reading and thanks for all the support. XOXO

P.S. The song is "I Will Remember You" by Sarah  McLacklan
