✒A Broken Poet [Poem Book]

I Remember...

I remember the day we met vividly

Almost like it was yesterday

We were young, no worries other than

The fear of not being able to go

Outside and play

I remember those hot summer days in Texas

I hated those days

but you were the breeze I needed to keep myself cool and collected

At times when the rain had me feeling neglected

I remember summertime was short-lived, but we made every moment count

Months pass

Back to school, where my anxiety would spike

Pen and pad, keep me calm when you are away

Ashamed to say that my surroundings were my kryptonite

Grateful that you were my Lois Lane

I remember we were both new to love

Whispering sweet nothings to each other

Even when times were sour

When we fought, I thought time was the solution

But as I witnessed your feelings fade to black

I noticed I was blinded by my own delusions

I remember the heartbreak, heartache, these were new to me

Looking back, that was an inevitable conclusion

They say young love is destined to fail

I didn't think their words would come to fruition

I remember years later we'd grown

And found our way back to each other

Saying you were my childhood crush would be an understatement

You could take a shovel, dig deep

And it still wouldn't reach the core of our connection

I remember you as a friend, companion, lover, soulmate

No substitute

I remember those days

Do you?
