There were flashing lights, lasers, where we met. There was loud music and cheap drinks. I found myself with the three of you, only one of whom I'd met before. That was the year I only wore plaid, mostly. I was protesting make up at the time, a leftover idea from my two year flowerchild period. You were arrogant as ever, self involved **** with great taste in music. I remember in all the conversations that followed you'd compliment my impeccably perfect playlists. I digress. You stayed away from me that night, let me hit on your friends. But you got me that shirt. I still wear it. I had forgotten that night for over a year. Even when I saw you next, I didn't remember you. I didn't remember you and that has always bothered me. I don't forget people. I just don't. Especially since it was both our first night out with that crowd. You remembered me though. And I'll never know why I forgot and you remembered. But now you forget me, and I never shall forget you. I promise you I'll never forget you. And if you recall, I don't break my promises to those I love.

Remember My Neon
