I remember the songs I sang to you through the phone to help you fall asleep. My voice was a small, whisper in the night; I swore I could hear your quiet, gentle breaths through the phone. In the night, your voice was a deep warm blanket I let myself fall into; in the day, it was a light so bright I could barely see my troubles anymore.

Maybe the light was too bright, because I think I went blind.

I still remember the songs I sang to you, do you? I sing them every night hoping maybe you'll hear them. I scream at the top of my lungs thinking that maybe if I sing them loud enough, I'll hear your quiet breathing again.

Please remember the songs. Remember me, because I'll never forget you, my first love.
