I memorized it. All of it. It took me a couple years. Times 300. Plus about 72. But I did it. I memorized you. You were it. You are it. There was no one else. And it took me some time to realize it, But you are it. I dug deeper everyday. I unfolded, Discovered, Founded, All the better parts of you. There were too many to count. But of course I did anyways. You were mine and I was yours. And I would never expect you to do the same. But maybe someday You'll understand me like I understand you. Because I didn't just discover the good parts, I found the bad parts, The ugly parts, The ones you hate most. And it made me all the better. It made you better too, I think. You suffered. You didn't want to tell me everything. And I waited. I gave it time. But you were mine. And I was yours.

You Were Mine
