Remember when we used to stay up all night talking? I was never the first to hang up.

I remember getting butterflies hearing your voice, and feeling my stomach flip when I saw your face. Where'd you go?

Remember the adventures we had together? Getting lost on a train and trying new things? Why'd you leave?

I remember talking about anything and everything. When did you run out of words?

Remember when you took me to my first football game and we both got entirely soaked through when it rained? Was I not worth it?

I remember sharing music with you. Making our own playlists. When did you drown me out?

Remember when it was just us and there were no other girls involved? You hurt me

I remember when you used to listen and care. Have I done something wrong?

Remember when we broke up and you blamed me for something I didn't do? Did you tell anyone the truth?

I remember when I believed the words you said. Why do you feel so empty now?

Remember when you got angry at moving on and then did the same thing? Did you really even miss me?

I remember seeing you for the first time and feeling unbelievably safe in your arms. Why are you so cold?

I remember being proud and boasting about how lucky I was. I remember feeling absolutely blessed with someone who understood me. I remember feeling so insanely in love it was the best I've ever felt. I remember when you talked to me and you asked me about my day. I remember the good morning texts and good night appreciation. I remember feeling heartbroken when you had to leave me again. I remember all of the distance and pain being worth it. I remember being endgame, talking about a family. What happened? What have I done?

Do you still love me?
