Please

Don't forget things such as

talking in the park
the late night IM conversations
the endless back and forth texting
the first time you came to my moms apartment
sitting outside on the porch
sitting the upstairs balcony
sitting on the couch, watching Law and Order and CSI
watching House for the first time, and loving it
showing me Monk, and Scrubs
when I was at the beach, and I actually started to admit how much I missed you, and you told me how much you missed me
when you thought I drowned in the ocean and you were frantically asking people where I was or if they had heard from me because I was taking so long to get back to you
the bracelets I made
the cds I made, with Death Cab and Sufjan
the Lefeon and the Pikachu I drew
meeting me in the park and Tim Santo coming to meet me, and you getting angry about it
Logan coming up behind you and saying "The back door is open Justin" and me having no idea who he was
another park trip, when we asked Logan to take pictures of us on the swings, and he was actually pretty good
laying in the grass in front of my mothers apartment
the first time I got Skype
the video you posted on my facebook wall
hugging me when you would leave
holding my hand for the first time
all the times you pushed me away, but I came back
all the times I tried to push you away, but you stayed
the first night we kissed, in my moms new house with Carol asleep on the couch next to us
trying to get a good picture of us kissing, but not wanting to be cliche about it
going to the King of Prussia mall
watching me straighten things in the Delia*s in KoP
loving my first tattoo, and not being able to stop pushing back my hair and looking at it
sitting together in your room, just trying to sleep
being interrupted by Logan
watching tv on your couch downstairs
"my spot" in your kitchen
me making perogies in your kitchen
me meeting your family for the first time. Including your animals.
hanging out with Brooke and Kyle
coming over at 5am and talking on my balcony and then in my living room and watching tv
eating my mothers enchiladas
coming to church with me
asking me to be your girlfriend, and me finally saying yes
the first time you said I love you, when we were lying on your bed.
when Brian came over and telling him we were watching a movie and that we would meet up with him later, and when we did we felt fantastic and ate fantastic food
the first time I went to Fratellis
meeting me at Java
playing card games, even though you didn't like to
skipping gym and coming to Java with me
talking for hours on my mothers porch
doing other things on my mothers porch
not being able to say goodbye on my mothers porch
"guys girlfriends will often let them borrow their straightners"
being worried that I would fall in love with Ben
convincing me to open up to you, to tell you everything
helping me through everything with my mom and dad, and Bill and moving
helping me through everything else
supporting me when I wanted to go to a therapist
telling me things about your family, telling me how you were feeling, telling me things in general

watching The Dark Knight with me
driving me home
showing me new music
meeting your friends for the first time
going shopping together, and finding you fantastic clothes
talking on the phone
talking on skype
giving me a spinach pie
walking from your house to mine, late at night, the night the Phillys won. And hearing everyone scream, and saying it was something we would remember that moment for the rest of our lives
bringing me a rose back from the Renaissance Faire
drinking Japanese soda
picking out my favorite dress from Urban Outfitters
telling me I'm beautiful, and also telling me you've never said that to a girl
me telling you you're the most attractive person I know
saying I smell like heaven
your hand
me saying you smell unlike anyone else I have ever met, in a good way
you being able to understand me, most times even better than I understand myself
skin
going to Starbucks, then wanting to play cards so walking all the way to Borders in the rain to get some, then teaching me to play Rummy and beating my ass every time
wanting me to teach you how to sing
the night I told you that only you can make yourself happy, and no one else can tell you otherwise, and then you being inspired to write
giving me the best Christmas present ever
giving the best hugs in the world
saying that we looked really good together, and that we were really attractive
Friday nights with all the craziness
being in the car when I drove
going out to breakfast with my family
doing the Crop Walk with me
laying in your bed for hours
talking for hours
the note I wrote with all the reasons I love you
skipping church to go eat a calzone
talking to your mom about random things
coming over on the first day of school
holding me in your arms
me holding you in my arms
falling asleep with me
"This is for E.V.A. and the dreams we made together forever"
crying with you on the bridge, laying side by side, half freezing, looking into each others eyes as you showed me that song.
and then being interrupted by the little child climbing up the stairs, and the old couple telling us about when they were our age, and how they used to do the same kind of thing.

Please don't ever forget. Don't forget the good times, the wonderful times, don't forget the happiness that was there. Don't forget the little things. Don't forget me. Don't say goodbye.
