Pieces Of My Heart

Remember

Remember October? The fall breeze and me in a floral skirt. Coy glances and first impressions.
Remember November? Late night calls, sleepy voices and soft laughter.
Remember December? Hot chocolate, your arms around me and blanket forts.
Remember January? Whispered I love yous and cranberry vodka on a freezing rooftop.
Remember February? Chinese food, lame jokes and a pair of silver earrings
Remember March? Video chats, serenading me, tears on our cheeks and our deepest fears and secrets
Remember April? Me cheering you on at your gigs, you teaching my brother to cycle.
Remember May? Happy birthday wishes in my ears and that red dress you wanted to see on me.
Remember June? Cramming math and stuffing our face with cookies and staring, always staring.
Remember July? Moonlight kisses, wind in our hair and you telling me you couldn't live without me.
Remember August? Exposed insecurities, silly arguments and you waiting in the rain for me.
Remember September? Texts from her, my foolish faith in you, in us. You assert that it was me or no one else.
Remember October? Yelling matches, your fickle mind and all the tears I cried.
Remember November? Three of us in here now, my sunken cheeks and your indecisiveness.
Remember December? False reassuring, more tears and your parents pulling us apart.
Remember January? Ignoring each other, lying and cheating and hurting.
Remember February? Letters your parents intercepted, effort to mend broken fences and erase her from us.
Remember March? Pushing, pulling and midnight calls about how you couldn't do it anymore.
Remember April? Your final choice and me tearing apart at the seams
Remember May? Cruel words, false accusations and me putting my fist over my heart Everytime i saw you two together.
Remember September? How she broke your heart and you came crawling back to me.
Remember October? Sugar words, countless apologies and useless excuses
Remember November? My inability to trust, your regrets and confessions.
Remember December? Frequent meetups, begging, pleading and my final decision
Remember January? Tequila shots with my best friends, insane sleepovers  and smiling, smiling for the first time in months, smiling for the friend that I had found in you, smiling for all that we've been through.
