I really loved you.
Always remember me like that.
When you enter those
shadowed corners of your mind,
to find me,
the ghost haunting you,
remember me as the girl
who loved you every day
whose big, hazel eyes
didn’t drill holes into your soul,
but created windows to let in the
sun.

Remember me when
I kissed you goodbye
and when I debated reality with you.
Remember me as the one who
you loved more than you should have.
As the girl who didn’t try to break you apart.

Remember me as a black cat
rubbing against your knees,
accidentally cursing you.
As the sunshine on bright summer days,
the eye of God, bright and inviting,
burning everything I could see.

Remember the sweet things I said,
the happiness I brought you,
the sadness I caused you,
the evil I didn’t mean to commit.
Remember me as my good and bad.
I contained it all for you.
