I still remember the first kiss,

How our lips connected perfectly.

I still remember my trust for you,

Feeling it seep out of my body into yours.

I still remember my first disappointment,

But, oh, how your simple hands could take it all away.

I still remember seeing my parents fade away,

Seeing how their eyes changed.

I still remember the silliest things,

Leaving our laughter’s fill the night.

I still remember our arguments,

But I was just overreacting, as you said.

I still remember how my body reacted to your touch,

Telling you it’s all yours.

I still remember seeing my world fall apart around me,

Knowing deep down I’m not happy.

I still remember spending days and nights with you,

Begging our parents for just one more night.

I still remember letting you go,

Because It’s for my best.

I still remember my first night alone,

Feeling a weight being lifted from me.

Closing my eyes and you were never there,

But late nights you were the only thing there.

Although my body still craves you,

I don’t miss you.

The only thing I miss is the thought of you not actually you.
