It became that day too soon
The day that we will be torn apart
Leaving me sobbing on the floor
And you gasping for air
Leaving me heartbroken
And you hopeful
That the day will be reversed
Where we will be mended together
Leaving me in your arms
And you within mine
Leaving me relieved
And you worried
All at once
You were snatched away from me
Leaving me in shock
But in that time
In that moment
I would have remembered and memorized
Every single feature about you
So that when I'm alone
and am asleep
I can see you in my arms
and in my dreams
and soon in reality

Do you recall when it all began?
Where it began?
How it began?
Why it began?
Do you recall anything at all?

Do you recall being in all the same classes?
Always partnering together on assigned projects?
Giving each other funny looks?
Trying to make each other laugh?
All those inside jokes?
Our rehearsals and performances?
Going on our "First Date"?

Then there's those moments we always regret
Not talking to each other
Walking away from one another
Getting frustrated at one another
Pointless arguments that ruined us
Forgetting one another

Please don't forget me.
Don't forget you.
Don't forget us.

But
she was the River
he was the Rocks

she was the Lightning
he was the Thunder

she was the Rain
he was the Clouds

she was the Captain
he was the First Mate

she was the Princess

she was a Mermaid

she was the Beauty

she was a Reader

Every time I take a step closer to you
You take a step back
Another step taken
Is another step wasted
But when you change your mind and heart
You take a step closer to me
But I will not step back
I will not budge
Instead, I will stand there
And wrap my arms around you
Stroke your neck and hair
Until the moment we cannot hold each other anymore
And when that moment comes
I'll be the one to let go
Because I was the broken one
And all I truly needed was a hug
