An Ode to the Ex.

Remember Me?
The girl you played with?
Sometimes House
Sometimes Doctor-Doctor?

Remember Us?

That impulsive kiss

High up on that wooden branch

The day we climbed the Big Tree.

Remember Me?

You used to lie on my lap underneath a starry sky

Ask me questions about the world

That I didn't have the answers to.

Remember Us?

The way we grew up together

They way we left town for the big city

Three hundred rupees in our bags?

Remember Me?

I made my first omelette for you

Cut my finger 

Cried and wanted to go back home.

Remember Us?

You wiped my childish tears

And said we'd hold hands all our lives

And watch every sunset together.

Remember Me?

The tears on my face

Our painful embrace
When we realised it was over...

Remember Us?

Our dreams and your promises

Shattering into a thousand tiny fragments...

Halting as they fell.

Remember Me?

Now that you're walking past me

Across the road 

Not even glancing at me...

We were Us
Eleven years ago.

Remember Me?

Remember Us?
