I remember things

I remember things.

I remember when we ran around,
I remember those pretty flowers we found.

I remember the sunny days at the beach,
I remember the stars that seemed almost in reach.

I remember the sound of waves in the night,
I remember when everything felt so right.

I remember the times we sat in silence,
I remember the peace with just your presence.

I remember things.

I remember the times we smiled and laughed,
But I remember the times when things got tough.

I remember when I had a hand to hold,
But I remember when you became so cold.

I remember the sweetness of anticipation,
But I remember when you left me in dejection.

I remember when the future seemed so bright,
But I remember when that faded out of sight.

I remember things.

I remember when you made me so sad,
I remember not knowing to cry or be mad.

I remember running away from you in the park,
I remember stumbling along in the dark.

I remember the feeling of being so weak,
I remember not trusting myself to speak.

I remember those words that stung like a burn,
I remember realizing that there was no return.

I remember things.
In the end, I remember you.
