Do you remember the time

I couldn't see you?

Do you remember that month

when I was just a memory

and you were just a picture on my wall?

That month when I could not

see you

or speak to you

That month when my world was

black ashes

I sit and remember

that terrible month

and try not to cry

and it takes so much effort

until your voice floats calmly through

the telephone line

and I realize you’re there again.



Do you remember that horrible day

when our secret was revealed to the world?

that day that I called you

and said we could not speak

the day with no sleep

and constant tears

the day of mystery

pain

and fear

full of hope and prayers

to make things back the way they were

to make things peaceful again?



I remember biting my lip in class

trying to will myself to forget you

for just one moment

so I could breathe

and not choke

on my words

just one moment

so my heart would not

burn

but I never forgot you

I never stopped dreaming

I never stopped hoping

for our reunion

and that one day

that I could finally say

I love you

to your face

and not to the cold, hard telephone receiver



I remember that day

when my world blew apart

when everything melted into a black ugly mass

I remember that day

when I couldn’t say

Goodnight

when I couldn’t tell you

Sweet Dreams

I remember that day

when I thought I’d lost you

and I never forgot you

and I never wanted to

and I never will

as long as I remember that day

because that one day

that horrible day

showed me how much

I love you
