you were with me

when you were sleeping,

dreaming of the place

you are now.

you were with me

when you left

quicker than my heart could keep up with.

when all my whens became ifs

and all my ifs became memories

of all the dreams i once had.

you were still with me.

and I'm sorry I had to see it

to believe it.

you tell me

that i'll forget you

in ten years or so.

but i know.

it would take more than time

to forget your sweet scent

and the skin it comes from

to forget what your face feels like

when its feeling what my face feels like,

to forget the little symbolic things that we keep

to remind each other of the us that happened.

so no,

I won't forget you

but now that you mention it
i'm kinda worried

that you'll be the one

to forget me.
