I Remember

I walk down memory lane
I remember you next to me
I remember the times we would talk and laugh
I remember when your smile escaped butterflies in my stomach



I remember the way your eyes sparkled when we talked about our favorite things
I remember when suddenly you turned to me and smiled and I noticed I loved you
I remember the feeling of floating, wrapped around in your love
I remember dreaming and wishing the feeling of your lips



But I also remember the day you pointed her out
I remember you doing anything you could to get her attention
I remember you talking about her with that sparkle in your eyes
I remember her interested but also interested in others



I remember the empty feeling I got when I thought of you
I remember being there when she told you got got boring
I remember being by your side when you broke down
I remember I heard the sound of your heart breaking



I remember you changed just like that
I remember you didn't want to talk anymore
I remember the way played with the other girls' hearts
I remember trying to bring you back



But I also remember that day you cam to my house
I remember you told me that you didn't like the new you
I remember laying down on my bed next to you as you apologized
And I remember when you turned to face me and kissed me



But I also remember noticing that I didn't love you anymore, the person you had become
I remember pushing you away and telling you to stop
I remember how you quickly got up and tole me it was a mistake
I remember the way you told me I was just a distraction, something to please you



I remember you walking out that door
And I remember sinking down on my bed feeling so hollowed out, so empty
I remember crying, crying for the person you once were
The one I use to love.
