I Remember...

I remember your smile when we first lay eyes on each other...
I remember the sweet words you whispered to my ear whenever we were close to each other...
I remember the warmth of your embrace while we cuddled in bed at night...
I remember your hand through my hair during our sad moments...
I remember how you took care of me when I was weak...
I remember your laughter the many times I made a fool of myself...
I remember watching you for hours while you were sleeping...
and I also remember waking you up with my playfulness so many times...
I remember you making sure I had the food I liked...
I remember always being by your side when you needed me...
I remember loving you and being loyal to a fault...
I remember how you said you loved me, and that nothing would keep us apart...



...if you remember it as much as I do, then why am i here?
