When We Met

Remember when we met?
The night sky spotted with dark clouds
Rain fell upon us
As we jumped in puddles
And laughed about our clothes.

Remember when we dated?
Unsure of what to do
Afraid to cross a line
Nervously reaching out hands
Scared the other won't link.

Remember when we kissed?
When we walked through
The dewy grass
Outside the fountain
Were we wished for luck

Remember when we loved?
Heart given freely
Trust fully relinquished
The gentle thumb of heatbeat
Sweet music to our ears

Remember when we sat?
Sat still in life together
Unsure where to go next
Realizing we may not be
Forever.

Remember when we fought?
Petty differences thrust out
Anger sparked where passion was
Pain the only goal in mind
Reconciliation unheard.

Remember when we just gave up?
Called it quits
Ended the pain
Move away from each other
Life's better alone.

Remember when we missed each other?
Silently hoping them the best
Or sometimes harm
Remembering the past
Forgetting the latter.

Remember when we met?
