I remember, the day we met
We were young
I still remember the way you smiled at me
The light behind your deep, crimson eyes
The way you laughed at all my jokes
Even the ones that I knew were terrible
I remember the first flutters of my heart
And only two weeks later,
You kissed me
You bought me flowers every Saturday
You taught me how to cook on Sundays
I remember
When you first yelled at me
When I got so mad I spit at you
I remember
When my parents died
And you let me cry in your arms
You smelled like blood and vanilla
I remember
The first time you said you loved me
And the first time I said I hated you
I wish I could never remember the way you cried
The way you stood there
The way you just stared
That you had to watch me walk away
Now everytime I see you
I see faded regret
painted in the bags of your eyes
And the flinch of your body
Everytime we touch
I see the way you look at her
Or at him
Or at anyone else but me
I remember,
When I didn’t regret you
When you loved me more than I love you
I remember the way you would smile whenever you heard my name
instead of trying to hear anything else but that
I hope,
someday,
I will be able to remember a new us
Where we are in love all over again
