Dear Clark
I can’t remember my first words to you,
But I can’t forget all the things I wanted to say.
I can’t remember what you were wearing that day in April,
But I can’t forget the way you smiled the whole night.
I can’t remember your phone number,
But I can’t forget dialing it at 3AM to cry about my day.
I can’t remember what song was playing,
But I can’t forget that you actually got me to dance.
I can’t remember where we were going,
But I can’t forget the sound of your resounding laugh echo through the car.
I can’t remember the exact tone of your voice,
But I can’t forget the way it sounded shouting my name down the school hall.
I can’t remember every miniscule detail about your face,
But I can’t forget that scar just below your eye.
I can’t remember how it feels to take a breath without endless thoughts of you,
But I can’t forget how you had the ability to make me forget how to breathe.
And oh, I’m not even sure I remember your favorite color,
But I can’t forget the color that matched your eyes.
I can’t even remember my last words to you,
But I can’t forget all the things I never got to say.
I can’t remember everything about you,
But oh, I can’t ever forget about you.
