Do You Remember?

Do You Remember?

A Story by VitalianRose

Do you remember the things you said? Do you remember the cardinals? You said it was a sign. Do you remember the courage you gave me? You got me to be confident without a mask. Do you remember the things we knew that couldn't possibly be known. We stayed in our secret glass house that you filled with music and love. Do you remember the steps you got me to take? You taught me to be proud of myself, even for the small things. Do you remember the night we met? The moment you walked in you stole my breath. You made me blush and smile and forget everything around existed in a mere instance. Do you remember the night you first kissed me? My heart skipped a beat and every little thing vanished. My wild and anxiety filled world melted away into silence and peace. Do you remember? I do. I remember it all. I remember where I messed up.
I remember where you did, too. I remember the night I started to trust you less. I remember the days of observant silence where I began to drift away, whether you knew it or not. I remember still trying to stand for you even though my heart started to say you were wrong. I remember lingering while you chose time and time again to show your dark colors. Yet still I stood, hopeful and naive. Do you remember your mistakes? I don't expect you to. It's not like a leo to see their own faults and take responsibility for them. They'd rather cling to their hubris than hold humility.
I understand I don't deserve any apology from you. I also understand that I don't need any. Quite frankly, you didn't deserve any of mine. I love you, I always will. That doesn't change what either of us has done. I truly do hope you find your happily ever after, if it exists. Honestly, I still hope you come back for me. Unfortunately, just like you're done with my "games", I'm done with yours, too. No matter what, even though we hurt each other, I'm proud of you. I love you. Goodbye.
