I remember every night
We stayed awake until the sun came up.
I could count every breath
I took with you.
I remember every purposefully
Awkward glance that led to better things.
I remember every word as they fell neatly
Out of your mouth.
I could close my eyes and retrace
Your every outline with a sure touch.
I remember all of your favorite books
And movies.

I don't remember your birthday
Or the color of your eyes,
What your necklace looks like
Or what earrings you wear,
How much you loved me
Or didn't.

And I don't know what's more important.
