I Remember.
By S.A.G.M.
I remember those times,
Where you would make me laugh.
I remember those times,
Which we would spend talking,
Never minding what other people said,
We were friends, then.

I remember the arguments
When the phone stopped ringing,
I remember trying so hard to reach you,
Because I knew you'd understand.
For I was your friend.
xxx
I remember when we talked againAs if nothing had ever happened
I remember that no one asked for an explanation
We didn't need one.
For you were my friend.

I remember having a slip on my tongue
Not really meaning what I said
I remember hurting your pride, while protecting mine,
But you did the same.
xxx
I remember trying to reach you again,
By different means, in different times,
I remember begging forgiveness, hoping it would be the same.
And it was not.
xxx
I remember as I lay on the couch,
Wiping the tears of my heart
I remember as I try to put it back in its place
Never minding why it was wrenched out,
But by who.
xxx
I remember asking myself why,
Offering stupid answers,
I remember wanting to cry, wishing to talk it over.
But you are not here.
I remember and wish,
Holding the thin air as if it were you.
I remember and cuss
Throwing a pillow as if it were you
I remember and cry,
I remember and die, then,
I remember.
