"I Remember"

I Remember,
I Remember when we began,
I Remember how I was,
I Remember how you were,
I Remember how we found eachother throughly annoying,
I Remember the way we were,
I Remember how we changed,
I Remember it took time, patience, understanding, and a little growing up,
I Remember finally being able to let my guard down,
finally being able to relax,
being able to let someone get close to me,
I Remember the time we spent together,
I Remember the quiet nights,
I Remember the romantic dinners,
I Remember the long weekends,
I Remember the walks under the stars,
under the moonlight,
I Remember your eyes,
I Remember how they sparkled under the moonlight,
I Remember the times we laughed,
I Remember the times we cried,
I Remember when I fell in love with you,
I Remember the many nights not being able to tell you,
I Remember the questions,
should I tell you,
should I not,
what if it angers you,
what if it scares you,
I Remember not wanting to hurt you,
I Remember finally telling you,
I Remember feeling better, you didn't hate me, you didn't run,
I Remember getting closer,
I Remember getting to care for you,
I Remember you wishing you could show your feelings better,
I Remember when I had to leave,
I Remember that last night,
I Remember promising to never forget you,
I Remember promising to come back for you,
I Remember our kiss,
I Remember leaving knowing things will never be the same,
I Remember the time we spent apart,
I was patient,
I waited,
I thought of you,
I Remember coming back,
I kept my promises to you,
I always did,
I Remember being with you again,
I Remember holding you close again,
I Remember kissing you again,
I Remember trying to make up for lost time,
I Remember scaring you,
you said that there was nothing wrong,
we were just mowing too fast,
you said your weren't ready, yet,
I Remember saying that we can wait,
I Remember we still cared for eachother,
I Remember knowing I would have to leave again,
I Remember knowing I would have to say 'Goodbye' again,
I Remember not knowing that if I'll ever be able to come back,
I Remember not having enough time to say 'Goodbye',
I didn't want to say 'Goodbye',
I didn't want to leave,
but I had to,
I Remember leaving for the last time,
I Remember what I said as I left,
I Remember asking you to never forget me,
I Remember saying that I would find you again,
no matter how long it takes,
I would always remember you,
I could never forget you,
I Remember the seasons as they drifted by,
I Remember watching the stars on cold winter nights,
I Remember your eyes,
I Remember your smile,
I Remember your kiss,
but no matter how long I wait,
I Remember.....
