Every "Favorite"

And for me, I remember
it all, I remember everything.
Every conversation
and every detail.
Every "favorite"
you ever mentioned.

I remember the initial
infatuation,
and I remember all of our
pointless conversations
that you have most likely
long since forgotten.

I won't ever forget
the sparkling moments
where I found myself
as your number 1,
your priority,
your gold star.

I remember saving myself
by putting up a barrier
and by letting you go
for everyone else to call on.

Those are especially hard
memories to think about,
especially now after
many layers of rust
over the once-precious metal
that we used to dare to call
friendship.

And now I remember
all the details
all the conversations
and every "favorite"
you ever mentioned.

Because now I'm back
where I started.
Holding on to everything
about you.
