I saw you again,
After so long,
And all the time I had spent putting you into the past,
Pushing your memory out of my mind,
All that time was waisted.
For when I saw you,
I remembered it all.
I remembered when we met,
How you smiled at me, nearly as if you looked through me.
And I remembered how your smile changed through time, as we grew closer,
And how it became my world.
I remembered how we grew together,
Became ones family when no one else stayed.
I remembered how we kissed,
For the first time and every time after.
I remembered our last kiss,
The last time we came close and never knew it would be so.
I remembered the nights we cried in one another's arms.
The nights we partied as if the world might end tomorrow.
I remembered the conversations we had, scared and drunk but safe in the others arms.
I remembered holding you tight,
Gripping on to you,
Like you were the life raft,
From the sinking boat that was my life.
I remembered.
I remembered it all.
And now all that was on my mind,
Was the memory of what was
And the pain of knowing it was all gone.
And that night I knew,
That no matter how hard I tried,
A part of me would always love you.
That after all this time,
You were still the only flower in my garden.
