Do You Remember?

Do You Remember?

A Poem by theopenbook
"

sometimes love is forever:)

"

 

 

Do You Remember?

 

I saw you walking down the hallway

Your hair like a dark curtain around your face

I wondered how nice it would be

If the hallway would be just empty.

 

Because then I would gently wipe away

That despair from your eyes

And lift that veil

Behind which you manage to hide.

 

And I would say-

 

Do you remember? When we were twelve

You made snow angels with me

Do you remember that Christmas night?

When I stole your favorite star from the Christmas tree

Do you remember?

 

The day passes like everyday

And I wonder if today’s the day to tell you

And every time I try to get closer

You smile and push me away

 

And i say to myself-

Do you remember?

When we were fifteen

When I suddenly realized that you aren’t the girl you used to be

 Do you remember?

When you slowly started to slip away

How your eyes forgot to sparkle

And you built that wall around yourself

Do you remember?

 

So I slip a letter into your bag

Pouring out my soul

And hoping you would realize my love

And let our hearts be whole.

 

When I saw you next day

My letter was in your hands

Your eyes were still dimmed

And all the disbelief the held.

And I asked you-

 

Do you remember?

When we were nine

And my friends made fun of you

That day I had looked into your eyes

And childishly, had said that you were mine.

Do you remember?

 

You shake your head

Trying to clear your filled eyes

I draw you close and hope

That you won’t say goodbye.

 

Do you remember ?i murmur

You pull away and look at me for a million heartbeats true

And slowly you whisper

“I do”

thats truley lovely.

it reminds me of childhood friends, how life changes who we are, and it sometimes takes a little nudge in the right direction to be brought back to who we really are.

very beautiful.

What a lovely read.. The suspense of wondering if that person returns your love, the constant wondering of if they're thinking of you. This was just wonderful. Great job.
