I Remember You

I remember the beginning - the day we met. I remember the way you smiled at our first meeting.

I remember you giggling at my lamest jokes, and the way you carried yourself, so quiet and shy.

I remember you shedding your jacket, joking about the heat, and how "hot" I was - a moment I still tuck away as cute.

I remember the spark in our flirtatious talks, and how breathtakingly beautiful you look when you smile.

I remember the way you’d get lost in your own thoughts while I spoke to our friend - a quiet drifting I didn’t yet understand.

But I also remember the shift. I remember how your colors began to fade.

I remember how you described being lost, even while you played among your friends.

I remember you - that once pretty, blissful being.
