I don’t remember you
I don’t remember how,
You kissed me, or
How we spent countless
Hours on the phone.
The long hugs we shared
Just seem like faint dreams
In the back of my mind.
Not my memories
Of what use to be.

I don’t remember you,
How you made me laugh
For no reason at all.
How I got so nervous
By just seeing you.
It’s almost like
You don’t exist in me
Anymore

But there are things
I do remember
Like how you said,
We’d still be friends,
That you’d still care
And always be there.

So where are you now?
While I’m right here,
Holding the pieces
Of what you gave me
And you’re with her
Giving away what
Should have been
Mine

Would you even care to know
That I’m better off now?
Without your memory,
Without you holding me back.
I’m not like I was when I was with you.
I no longer hold back.
I’m comfortable in my own skin.
Would you even care
To know that
I’m in love
With your best friend?
