I memorized it.
All of it.
It took me a couple years.
Times 300.
Plus about 72.
But I did it.

I memorized you.
You were it.
You are it.
There was no one else.
And it took me some time to realize it,
But you are it.

I dug deeper everyday.
I unfolded,
Discovered,
Founded,
All the better parts of you.
There were too many to count.
But of course I did anyways.
You were mine and I was yours.

And I would never expect you to do the same.
But maybe someday
You'll understand me like I understand you.
Because I didn't just discover the good parts,
I found the bad parts,
The ugly parts,
The ones you hate most.

And it made me all the better.
It made you better too, I think.
You suffered.
You didn't want to tell me everything.
And I waited.
I gave it time.
But you were mine.
And I was yours.
