I forget so many things.
I forgot the way my sister and I played when we were young.
I forgot why I thought I could teach my brother how to read.
I forgot how my mother broke her neck and I guess she nearly died.
I forgot how my dad had cancer and we went to see him in the hospital.
All I remember now is you.
I remember the first time I met you and I didn't know I would love you.
I remember the first time I said sorry to you and meant it.
I remember when I saw your car for the first time and I thought it was cute.
I remember the first time I talked to you on the phone.
I remember how you made your best friend laugh, and I envied that immensely.
I remember the way you made the stools symmetrical in the kitchen.
I remember holding your hands in my hands before they felt my body.
I remember the patience you had with me while teaching me your song.
I remember the first time I wanted to touch your hair.
I remember the first time I wanted you to touch mine.
I remember the way the sun hit your face and made me think of the future.
I remember the first time I wanted to kiss you.
I remember the first time I held your head and how it gave me butterflies.
I remember the first time we kissed and I couldn't believe it.
I remember the first time we joked about feelings.
I remember how scared I was you were kidding.
I forget so many things, but I will never forget you.
