I Remember
by Rockel Simone Brown
I remember the first time we ever spoke.
It was on the phone and all I said was a joke.
I remember the moment we met for the first time.
I didn't think anything, 'cause I wasn't yours and you weren't mine.
I remember the time we first kissed.
It was that moment I fell in love with your lips.
I remember the night you asked me to stay with you.
I told you 'no', even though I really wanted to.
I remember the moment you said you were in love with me.
I couldn't believe it, I thought to myself, "So soon, could it be?"
I remember you crying as you told me how you felt about me.
I was overwhelmed, so I took you in my arms and held you gently.
I remember the first time I came home with you,
You had someone else there but you made her leave.
I couldn't believe you were risking
The relationship you had, just to be with me.
I remember beeping you from school
'cause you told me it made your day.
I'd beep at the same time..
well, at least it seemed that way.
I remember the first time you confided in me
and told me your problems.
I listened carefully; I felt your pain,
I thought of ways to solve them.
I remember we had a problem with the way we'd communicate.
You'd want to talk,
I'd want to write a letter,
but sometimes my letters were too late.
I remember us playing around a lot
and one of us would end up getting upset.
You from the bites I'd give you
and me because I hated when you held my breath.
I remember rushing to your aunt's house
because something told me that you'd be there.
I hurried inside, just to know
that soon I'd be in your care.
I remember the night I was sleeping
and I heard that you and a friend were in an accident.
I thought I was dreaming
and back to bed I went.
I remember it being no dream;
we rushed to the hospital to see if you were okay.
We left the hospital that night,
you went in one direction and I went another way.
I remember falling in love with you
even though it was not my intention.
I couldn't help it, you made me happy
and you gave me satisfaction.
I remember you saying I was the one who was going to hurt you
because I had to leave.
It didn't happen that way;
you ended up being the one who hurt me.
I remember a lot of things, good or bad that we went through.
I remember yesterday, today, and I'll remember tomorrow,
'cause those are the days I
... Loved You!
