My poems

Remember

I remember you.

I remember the way you laughed when I made one of my petty puns, or when I said something so stupid and whined because I thought you were laughing at me but you were laughing with me.

I remember the way you made me feel. When you would "hold me" and tell me everything was gonna be okay. How you made me laugh with your awesome jokes, or when you called me beautiful or cute, or baby girl. You made me feel special.

I remember your promises. Whenever I felt sad about what was going on here you would always tell me how we were gonna run away. How you would take me so far away that no one could hurt me as long as you had me.

I remember the night you left. I had told you about my mom finding out about our phone calls and you got worried and thought you had to go...I remember reassuring you and we went to bed, I woke up to see a long message where you were telling me you had gone. You didn't wanna hurt me or get me into trouble. You said how much you loved me and cared for me. You were sorry, I remember.

I remember that day. I didn't cry because I was in shock, maybe I could go home and I could tell you all about me day again. Like I always had. I didn't wanna believe you were gone, I couldn't believe it...I still don't.  That night I did cry, I broke down and screamed for you and you weren't there to hold me when I was sad. You were gone...

I remember your name.
I remember the way my lips formed around it.
Or the sound of your voice when you said mine.
I remember saying goodnight.
I remember how I loved you.
I remember you.
