Do you remember when we bought those green apples from the store and we chewed them until our gums bled?
Do you remember when we sat up in that bed watching the witch in the corner, smacking on sugar free ice cream until we were convinced we were eating cream-cheese?
Do you remember driving to the City and slipping in that strange brown substance just above the Church?
Do you remember the first time I saw you and I never really saw you because I could never look at you?
Do you remember telling me you loved me while you held me soaking wet?
Do you remember the book? (you do).
Do you remember waking up with me that early to watch me sweat and pretend you weren't there watching me sweat? (i was soaked with chlorinated water so you wouldn't have noticed what i was wet from)
Do you remember what i wore that night i betrayed you for the first?
Do you remember when i kissed your cousin and acted hurt?
Do you remember when I threatened to shake your diet-soda you held so dearly and promised I wouldn't... and then I did?
Do you remember the first time we stood together in the mirror and I remarked about how I couldn't believe we were standing together in the mirror. That it must be the substance because I can't usually do this?
Do you remember when we first met and we avoided acknowledgment of eachother's presence?
Do you remember looking at my painting and me looking at you?
Do you remember how beautiful I thought you were?
Do you remember staying up all night feeling pretty, teaching me how to play the Cannon on the piano for 8 straight hours?
Do you remember his face in the morning while I played him awake? (he wasn't happy)
Do you remember when I watched you talk about Jesus and we all saw you cry and could you tell how I felt? I commended you on your courage but felt betrayed a little inside.
And do you remember cornering me on the bus talking of the same? DO YOU remember any of us?
Do you remember me introducing myself to you as if you were famous and I, a fan? And you seemed so scared and alone and I seemed so with it and confident? Do you realize now I was just drunk?
Do you remember the night in the park with the lights ? you asked when you'd feel beautiful and we all laughed because it was obvious you already were?
Do you remember my first message to you? Spurred by jealousy of a place I wished I could be.
Do you remember when you told me watching those greats makes you think of me?
Do you remember what I said to you? (I don't).
Do you remember telling me your mother was dying and asking if I would be with you? Do you remember that I told you, 'No'? If your blood is mine do you bleed my remorse?
Do you remember being strong for me even though I should have been for you? Do you know where I went that night?
Do you remember when I could have said goodbye, and instead buried my head in her stomach?
Do you remember when we got The Call?
Do you remember when I called and i heard you cry for her, covered up by your pride for me?
Do you remember the butterflies?
Do you remember the caterpillars?
Do you remember my glasses and streaking my hair with lemons?
Do you remember the moons on her hand and the way her blue eyes sparkled under dim lights?
Do you remember the Indian Princess?
Do you remember asking me to choose a death blanket and I chose red?
Do you remember dying?
Do you remember me leaving?
Do you remember my voided cry and my self involved nature?
Do you remember how much I would have given for you? (Do you remember how much i gave for you?)
Do you remember me?
Do you remember me?
