Remember

I will always think of you
Before I think of him
I will always refer back to
Us
Even though I know I shouldn't

But, God.
I can feel you from a picture
Your cold skin against mine
I can feel the tingle in my chest
When you'd whisper the words in my ear

I remember our first kiss
And my chest feels heavy
Like my eyes

I'm tired of remembering
I hate that you will be the standard
For every guy I will ever love
Because you hurt me more
Than they ever could
I would feel the lie
If that where the case, of course

One recollection
One album of that year
And I can smell your skin
Always cold against
My cheeks warm with fluster
Just like they are now
Because every poem I write
Isn't about him
It's about a memory

And damn it I miss not needing to remember
