I want you to remember the way my hair frizzed when I got up from bed and how you always took that chance to pat it down and run your fingers through it. You couldn't always work through the knots and tangles and your fidgeting fingers just fucked it up even more.  But I never could work through your twisting spider-web words and emotional bomb splatter- so I guess you could call us evenly unmatched.

I want you to remember how I laughed when you took me by surprise with those sweet unexpected hugs. You'll never know how they made me bubble on the inside like shaken coke wanting to explode from a bottle to touch the sky and twist the clouds into our beautiful memories. I actually thought we were in love, but you never popped the cap or the question and the fizz just ate away at itself and died.

I want you to remember how I sang our song and maybe you could forget how I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket [and how I couldn't carry the burden of keeping illicit secrets]. But you should remember everything about me because what we had is unfathomable through a single snapshot or well written poem- we were 'us' and it wasn't our time and it saddens me still that 'our time' will might will never happen.

I want you to remember all the times you told me you loved me. Perhaps you could think back and see if you meant it or if you said it for the same reason that lovers dance in the rain and tattoo-guns pierce fair flesh. I'm hoping it's not the latter because it might have seemed like a good idea at the time, but it just led me further down a slippery slope. [Gravity never held me down when around you so it was a long, painful journey to the bottom].

Since you didn't love me, I want you to remember me- it's the closest I'll ever get.
