Love and Hurt

Remember

I remember looking at the smiling boy by my side.

I remember gazing upon his face as the light made it glow

I remember the boy who always looked sad

I remember the few time he did smile

I remember his embarrassed smiles, his joking smiles

I remember the smiles he reserved just for me

I remember how he barely spoke

I remember his few words and how when he opened his mouth to speak, the words were not wasted

I remember how nice he was to me

I remember him actually trying to make conversation with me, when others would not

I remember sitting next to him how warm he was

I remember touching him, seeing him, yet I cannot picture his face

I remember everything he ever said to me

I remember what he said that first day

I remember what he said that last day, also

I remember how he made me laugh

I remember how he made me cry

I remember how he saved me

I remember how he hurt me

I remember what he means to me

And now that we are apart, I am beginning to remember him..
