Remember

Remember when I asked you why we didn't hug, to break the ice so we could?

Remember how warm it felt when we did?

Remember when we wouldn't let go, standing in the tiny box room at the bottom of the stairs?
Remember when we would say "I heart you" because it was easier than saying "love"?
Remember the the words and phrases we created?
Remember how funny we thought we were?
Remember the thousands of steps we walked, to get to places that didn't matter as much as the steps that got us there?
Remember the old buildings we trespassed in, just to find something we hadn't seen before?

Remember when you wouldn't let yourself believe me when I told you I loved you, because you were scared that it wasn't true?

Remember I promised you it was, and that it was the most real thing I've ever felt?

Remember the night we lied outside, pressed so close and so tight together, staring silently into each other's eyes, but I was too nervous to kiss you?
Remember how annoyed of myself I was for it after I had to go?

Remember how soft and perfect it was when my lips finally touched yours?

Remember the endless nights with ears pressed to the receiver, admiring vulnerability?
Remember the happy and sad tears we shared?
Remember when I told you you were my everything, my angel?
Remember when I told you you were my purpose, my reason?
Remember how the future didn't seem so scary anymore?

Remember how your slightest embrace made nothing else in the world matter?

Remember how much time was lost when we kissed over and over again?
Remember how many times you were late getting home?

Remember when we left prom early?

Remember when we sat in the ballroom, and I traced the lines of your shirt on your back?
Remember all the magic places we discovered?
Remember all the goals and dreams we shared?
Remember the poems we would write?

Remember last night, how we stayed up until morning and went outside to see the sun rise?

Remember when I told you I couldn't believe how perfect one person could be?
You remind me everyday
