Poem of the Month: May

Remember

By: C. Guimaraes

Remember me.
Remember how I used to be,
Not how I’ve become.
Remember me before I left,
Remember yourself,
Remember how surely you stood by my side,
Don’t remember all the quiet that came between us.
Remember me,
And remember us.
Remember the road we traveled together,
A road of wishes and dreams,
A road of unspoken promises.
Remember the day we first spoke,
Remember our beauty,
Ours together,
Me and you,
You and I,
Where we could be anyone,
Everyone,
No one.
When we owned the world,
And we sailed through a sea of possibilities,
Remember that.
Please remember the good,
All of the sugar and some of the spice,
But just remember me,
How you would have wanted to,
Remember my embrace,
The feeling of never letting go,
Never needing to.
Remember.
So promise me,
Promise me this one thing,
That you’ll remember us,
That you will never forget.
