I Still Remember...

The one that got away

I can still remember every line on your face and the touch of your hands and how safe I felt with

your arms wrapped around me.

The way you looked at me when you thought I wouldn’t notice.

Remember when you use to sing to me?

Whenever I hear ‘Hey there Delilah’, I’ll always think of you.

And how you use to draw little characters on my notepad whenever I would leave the room.

The long, heartfelt conversations.

The way you understood what my heart was trying to say when I couldn’t find the words.

How many nights did we steam up the car windows on some old dirt road? I lost count…

These are the things I’ll always remember, even after all this time.

These are the things I miss… still.

You were the one.
