I remember popsicles
I remember talking for hours
I remember smiling at everything you said, even when you said nothing at all

I remember holding you in a haunted house
I remember holding you the whole way home
I remember holding you on a couch, and that first kiss I wasn’t sure you wanted

I remember falling asleep next to you
I remember waking up and feeling you
I remember the way your hair tasted, when it fell between a kiss

I remember, “Have a good day at work”
I remember thinking about nothing but you
I remember being excited to be there, just because you walked around a corner

I remember someone caring when I came home
I remember falling down beside you
I remember the most rest I’ve ever felt, without ever falling asleep

I remember not being ticklish
I remember squriming anyway
I remember hiding from the world, as we pulled the sheets above our heads

I remember pulling you close
I remember the word “mine”
I remember missing my chance to make that the truth

I remember looking into your eyes
I remember wishing you didn’t have to go
I remember knowing you wouldn’t be there when I got home this time

I remember a note on my computer
I remember a pillow that held your scent
I remember all the things that the forgotten would do well to forget
