I remember

I remember all the "chosen ones"

All the ones that caught my eyes

I recall all of the villains

And the classic "nice guys"

I remember all the Romeos

The seducers and wooers alike

I knew all the "we're just friends"

And "love you like a brother" types

I remember all the gentlemen

The ones who held the door

I'm branded by the cretins though

And made of me a *****

I remember so many of the talking boys

The ones who needed to vent

They'd knew I never slept at night

And converse until the blackness was spent

I remember all the heartbreakers

And those few that never left

The randoms that came sneaking in

The ones who thought they knew best

I remember the wishful thinking

And the craving to catch your eyes

I acknowledge the reluctance of letting you go

And at times I never tried

I remember the lessons

And I repeat the mistakes

There're so many fish in the sea

And I only have a lake

Please remember that I loved you

Or I did the best that I could do

And if there's a part of you remembers me

Just know my memory is perfect too
