I remember all our lost tomorrows,
all the hot chocolate and coffee evenings
sitting in the same room in the dark.
I remember all the mornings of terrible
breath and hair in all directions.
I remember the way your cheek would have felt
beneath my hand, and the angle of my neck,
bent back to kiss you on tiptoe.
I remember the way you would have said my name,
and the surprise in your eyes at
the way I would have looked at you.
I remember that my parents would have liked you -
my father would have shown you his garage,
and you would have pretended to be interested
for my sake. And I would have done the same in
your mother's garden.
I remember the house we'll never buy, and
the arguments over the paint colors,
and I remember that I would have washed
while you dried.
And then I remember that it won't be me.

Date: 2008-08-24 02:05 am (UTC)I'm beat, it's been an exceptionally long week and I don't get nearly enough days off anymore, phew. I might even just sleep all day, the jury is still out on that one. :P It'll be better after this coming week - school will start, but at least I'll only be working one job part-time again, instead of one full-time and one part-time.
Mmm, but first, sleep. *yawn*

Date: 2008-08-29 12:17 am (UTC)Alas, I've got plans with another friend on Monday (since I knew for sure that we'd both be off - paid holiday!!), and next Sunday is still an unknown value.
I will pencil you in for next Sunday, though. :) If I'm not working, we shall do things!! :)
