I Remember
by Misbah Javed
The Poem
I Remember,
I remember how we laughed the most
The day we walked in the rain,
Talking about the weight of our bags,
The day we were late for school the first time.
I remember how we met that first day,
And it still makes me smile
That I, no less than a chatterbox,
Was the one to start it all.
I remember your favorite drink,
Always growing cold because of me.
I left my fears behind,
Just to ride the Ferris wheel with you.
I remember the effort it took,
Making sure you felt at ease with me.
I remember how you spoke of your favorite game,
The passion shining in your voice.
I remember you,
Your laugh, your fragrance, your style.
I remember everything,
And I still do.
