i remember how
i told myself
to give up
leave him alone

and i did but

i remember how
one night
we were together at a party
you said i looked great
so did you

i remember how
we talked for a while
both laughing
under the influence
happy

i remember how
you took my hand
helped me put my coat on
and we left
together

i remember how
we were walking
you stopped me
and said
i miss you
i missed you too

i remember how
we made it to your house
we stopped outside the door
you looked at me
and smiled

i remember how
we went inside
we went to your basement
you put on my favorite show
and sat down next to me

i barely remember how
your hands ended up on my cheeks
your eyes scanning mine
your face getting closer
your lips parted
