Do you remember how we used to do this?
Sit on the hood of your truck
and eat salted fries.
We'd both have stupid grins on our faces
and I'd tell you how good you looked.

Do you remember how the sky lit up?
The fireworks were so loud
but I could almost hear the boom
in your heart
after each explosion.

Do you remember when you laid
your head on my shoulder?
and I tried to hold your hand,
You pulled away saying
you needed a smoke.
But I know you hate the taste...

I remember how cold it was,
the night after you slept in my bed.
You had worn my old shirt,
and I almost told you.

A couple days later is all it took though,
for me to say the words
I know you didn't want to hear.
And I haven't heard from you since.

So now I'm sitting alone.
Watching each blast,
Counting all the colours,
trying to forget your smile.
i ache for your love in return

You taste of distance and longing.
You look like the embodiment of past,
and my eyes can never quite focus with you on my mind.
Remembering your laugh hurts and feels like a dream,
it feels like what I would imagine remembering a past life would feel like.
I'm not even sure you were ever real.
I can't remember your eyes.
But what hurts more is that you probably
can't remember mine.

I remember last year,
you sat next to me,
in the library,
on the floor,
you read out a joke,
we laughed,
and laughed.
I remember that joke.
I remember us laughing.
I remember you understanding me.
I remember you introducing me.
I remember talking about wayward sons.
I remember hall lights flickering.
I remember breathing in your smoke.
I remember walking next to you.
I remember sitting in the rain.
I remember crossing the bridge.
I remember singing old songs.
I remember your honesty.
I remember your smile.
I remember our words.
I remember being real.
I remember the goodbye.
I remember feeling numb.
I remember too much.

I'll never get to tell you
how much rocket candy means to me,
(even though I don't care for the taste)
or how I can't quite remember your
face,
but your smile stays ingrained into
my head,
I can't tell you that I now notice,
all the times I didn't notice,
when my mum
had left me with you,
left you to raise me.
you may never know how much care.

thank you.

I want you to hurt
I want you to miss me
I want you to ache when you hear my name,
and when you see my face,
and when you remember my laugh,
I want you to hurt so I won't have to.
but you won't

Closure;
Seemed like such a cheesy word,
until I realized,
the reason my heart hurt so much,
was because a nine year old
didn't get to say goodbye,
seven years ago.

Tomorrow's sunrise
is a memoir.
It remembers
an exact mirror.

Like it showed up
a thousand times earlier.
At the end of the same
veiled night.

Once again will it take
a trip to the memory lane
and lay on a sea of primulas
interpreting in colour
that’s sweet dream!

The sun is in the know
It will paint across.
But own’t touch the rose
it will sleep in its dew.

I saw you the other day.
My heart sped up
and I couldn't breathe.
I feared you may recognize me,
but part of me feared you wouldn't.
There's no way you could though,
we've both changed.
But then,
I thought a saw that hint
of recognition in your eyes,
your dull blue eyes.
I must've been mistaken.
though I kept looking away because
my eyes were betraying
my thoughts.
You left as quick as you came,
and my heart aches for you all over again.

It was a great relief to realize
That your anxieties are just cute lies
But only if I had strength to tell you
That the things you said are the things I do

Every time I remember you.

no matter
how hard
i try to forget

no matter
who i
try to love

no matter
what i
try to do

no matter
what time
it is

no matter
where my
feet are

no matter
who i
am with

no matter
what happens
in this lifetime

my heart
always belonged
to you

it never
stopped beating
for you

no matter
what you're doing,
where you are,
who you're with,
always remember
that
i
love
you
and
this
would
never
change

i love you
to the moon
and back
and
even more than
you'd ever know

and if
this lifetime
is not enough,
i'd be
more than willing
to spend
the rest of forever
with you

i love you
and that's all
that matters to me
