Don't forget me.
Think of me now and then.
Think of me daily.
Smile at my name on your phone.
Take pleasure from texting me.
See things and wonder if I'll like them
Blush when I tell you kind things.
Be flattered when I call you friendly pet names.
Worry when I don't respond quickly.
Daydream of seeing me again.
Laugh too loudly when I make a joke.
Think of me as your confidante.
Think of when I was more than that.
Think of when I was less than that.
Appreciate that I am again.
Remember how it felt to hate me and be hurt by me.
Appreciate that that's changed.
Worry that you might love me again.
Lie and say you don't.
Lie and say you do.
Have fond memories of my body.
But never fantasize about it.
Struggle to give a name to our relationship.
Struggle to define the limits of our friendship.
Struggle against those limits.
Wish for more from me,
But never expect more.
If you can do all these things,
Do all these things every day,
Then you will have begun to understand
Just how it feels to be me,
thinking about you.
