Do you remember the moment you first saw him?
When the fairytale ending played over and over again in your head
And you ****** in your breath because you had never seen something so beautiful
And the hands of love gripped your heart so tight you thought you might pass out
Do you remember what it felt like falling in love with him?
When you couldn’t help but smile at him while he did something as simple as load the dishwasher
And your head on his chest was more comforting than your mother’s hugs
And you danced in the kitchen light, bodies pressed together because you couldn’t stand to be even an inch away from him
Do you remember watching the fire fizzle out as quickly as it had started?
When days usually spent with his family became nights where you laid in bed sobbing
And his vicious words devoured every last bit of happiness you had left
And the hands of love stopped gripping your heart because it had finally froze over
Because I remember it all and, darling, that fire still flickers in you.
