I remember

[sl_330ci]

I remember what it was like before you were too good for me.
Before saying you looked beautiful meant absolutely nothing.
I remember us and the dog laying down smoking a little weed.
Before you lost sight of us and the word beauty meant more from some other mans lips.
I remember wanting us to take care of one another.
Before you hated me for finding out that you were the one betraying.

I remember you before California, and your new friends.
When your dream included me. 
When the site of me waiting for you at home actually made you smile.
Before I was angry... before we were pathetic.

And still Ill always remember the girl you used to be.
The one that told me she loved me,
And meant it more than anything.
Oh, how hard it is to remember it only as a memory.

And someday when we both get what we really deserve,
A love unjudged from a beautiful person that respects us.
Maybe these memories of you and me won't hurt as bad.
Maybe these memories we have will once again make us happy.

Until that day Ill try not to be pathetic,
But move on in hopes that I may find someone that will be there for me day and night.
I hope the same for you,
Though had you let me, I would have too.

Goodbye and best wishes.

Always,
~Nik.
