I Remember You
I remember you
You used to stand with me in the snow
“Why do you think I'm standing out here?
Of course I'm your friend.”
You gave me that soft, silky blue tie
I don't think I have it anymore
It didn't smell like you anyway
What did was
That National Guard hoodie with
The sharp, crooked zipper
It used to soothe me to sleep on nights
I could not
Or the one before that
It was gray and black plaid
It was so beautiful and still
For some reason
I love boy sweaters
This one had earphones as the drawstrings
The coolest hoodie ever
And then- I promise it was an accident-
I accidentally cut the wires and it didn't
Play music anymore, but I knew I had to tell
You weren't even mad at all
You said that I could keep it
Please may I have it back?
I remember you
You used to say no, but I still begged you to
Please put me in a headlock
Probably I saw it in a movie
But it didn't hurt when you finally did it
Did that on purpose, didn't you
You watched The Princess and the Pauper
I'm so sorry I put you through that
At that time I loved “I'm Just Like You”
But to this day loathe cartoons
I can draw way better than that!
Even on my skin as I listed
Foolish reasons as to why I should
Take my life, you responded with
Foolish, foolish answers that
Made me feel stupid
Logarithms and those stupid numbers that
Add one on, consecutive?
I still don't get it
But thanks for helping me
I remember you
You gave me a piggy back ride
On the day after Thanksgiving and I was so happy
You were home because it was Friday
And the gym was open
Then, she wanted one, too and I was livid
After all, she's not even related
But you were always so nice
I used to be a brat
But now I'd like to think I'm nice, too
Like you
I remember you
I made sure you could never
Leave me behind, and you still can't
Get rid of me, I'm stuck
Like crazy glue between your fingers
I hope that's okay with you because
You might not remember me
But I remember you
“I love you...Do you love me back?”
How come it took all of that for you to just say
“Yes, I love you back.”
