Do you remember,
That rainy day after school,
You walked me home?
How my mother didn't hesitate to invite you in,
And scurried off to make us cookies?
How we sat on the floor,
Of my attic bedroom,
And listened to the pounding of the rain,
On the wooden roof?
How you let me rest my head on your lap,
And played with my hair,
As we talked about our lives?
Or how you grabbed my hand,
Before I left to go get us drinks,
Pulled me close and kissed me,
Just like that?
How you started mocking me,
So I tackled you playfully to the ground,
And we started wrestling?
How just when I was winning,
You flipped me over onto my back,
And kissed me...hard?
How I pretended to be mad but you knew,
That I loved that kiss?
Do you remember,
Holding me in your arms,
That night my mum got into that car accident?
She was okay thank God,
But that night,
You saw me so scared.
Do you remember,
Tucking my hair behind my ear,
And wiping my tears?
Putting your forehead to mine,
And telling me it was going to be okay,
Over and over again?
Do you remember,
Cradling me in your arms,
Until I fell asleep?
Do you remember being my only hope?
My lifeline?
How crazy you made me and I you?
It's an absolute shame you moved so far away,
And even though we're still together,
Even though we write and text and email each other,
It's not the same,
It never will be.
