dream journals(on rememberance)

your favorite order,

from the chinese place on the corner.

and wooden chopsticks,

because plastic wasnt worth the call.

i remember each beautiful moment, i remember it all.

your favorite shows,

that i memorized word for word.

the jokes we had,

all of your lines.

written in my notebook,

sitting on my bedside.

the things that'd make you laugh,

each time i made you cry.

i remember it all.

and i remember the look,

the spark in your doe eyes.

the day i realized i loved you,

in my anthologies, they all reside.

my walking for miles,

and the single rose I would bring.

days in a nail salon,

the helper I would be,

just to see you.

the things i saw. i could speak

for hours, on

every little thing.

the love for frogs,

you've had since a child.

the birds in your backyard,

tossing them scraps each night.

your favorite songs,

and the reasons behind.

the minute details and stories.

the kings your brother liked.

i remember.

the mourning we decided

to say our goodbyes.

how warm your hands were,

the love leaving your eyes.

the final rose I brought you,

those tears flooding my night.

written in dream journals,

and love letters,

and poems,

haunting my waking life.

i remember.

You made me cry... Boy, this is one of your best. Remembering every detail is love language, and all the stories you have each other is out of a movie. F.... you are so good at this. I need a good end to this story.

We all wish for better endings, unfortunately life happens and we have to move on. We can write over and over about the same past lover, but it won't change anything. The worst part is just remembering it all.

Maybe they are gem. Someday you'll remember these without hurting. You are safe in your words.

[Everett Dulin]

I don't hurt really, I just never forget... It gets in the way.

You are a poet, and that's the price you should pay...
