Do you remember the time I got a bonus and bought you a new pillow 'cause your back hurt? And a movie you loved? Because I thought of you. And you said I should have spent it on bills? I remember.
Remember the flowers that weren't the right color? I do.
Remember shaving the cats alone by myself because you couldn't stand all the hair and fleas? I do.
Remember waking up at 3am to go to the store and buy sprite when you were sick? I do.
Remember cutting work just to spend the day with you while you played video games and I ended up doing housework? I do.
Remember the christmas dinner I cooked that I let you take the credit for? I do.
Remember playing love songs to you while you played video games? I do.
Remember cooking dinner almost every night and cleaning up afterwards too? I do.
Remember going to a rave and hating it but loving every extra moment I got to keep you out? I do.
Remember the pain it took to hold on? And the strength it took to let go? I do.
Remember meaning what you said? I do.
I'm tired of telling myself it was my fault. Or our fault. Why couldn't you stay 17 forever?
