I remember the day we met

And what we talked about.

I remember that summer,

And the endless string of emails.

I remember how I felt seeing you at school,

And how good it felt to have a best friend.

I remember when you became more than just a friend,

And when I learned I wasn't the only one who liked you.

I remember what it felt like

The first time you smashed my heart

I remember the feelings I buried

To stop the pain in my chest

I remember my fantasy

I remember my dream

I remember that blissful summer

When yours was the only face I saw

I remember fighting you

I remember the first day I hated you

And how sad it made me feel

I remember bonds reforged

After a long and lonely winter

I remember growing suspicion

That a rift was forming again

And I remember dying

When history repeated itself one year later

Only this time I could not bury the dead.
