I remember you falling asleep with your head on my shoulder on the sofa.

I think about the quiet cup of tea we shared after a terrible day.

I kept the sunflower petal you pressed between book pages.

I treasure the way you cheered for me at my small presentation.

I remember how you whispered my name when the lights went out.

I still have the grocery list you left with hearts next to desserts.

I kept the concert bracelet you tied around my wrist.

I replay your voice reading that silly poem you wrote once.

Thinking of your tiny scar above your eyebrow brings me close to you.

I remember folding your wet jacket and drying it on the heater.

I can’t forget how your eyebrows knit when you read that terrible review.

I saved the postcard you sent from that trip you took alone.

I remember the apology you whispered after you hurt my feelings.

I still think about the puddle you jumped over to keep my shoes clean.

I remember the sour cherry ice cream you insisted I try.

I keep thinking of the way you chewed your pen when concentrating.

I remember us arguing over pizza toppings and then laughing it off.

I saved the napkin you scribbled directions on for me.

The feeling of your hand fumbling with my keys is stuck with me.

I still remember the exact words you said before you left that week.

I keep the pebble you picked for me from the lake on my desk.

I find myself smiling at the memory of our first awkward dance.

I miss the small way you tucked your hair behind your ear when nervous.

Thinking of you humming that song at 3am comforts me.

I keep the receipt from the bookshop where you bought my favorite novel.

I love going through the photos from our road trip.

Sometimes I wake up thinking about our late-night walk by the river.

I miss the smell of your shampoo on your hoodie I still have.

Remembering how you fell asleep on the train makes me smile all day.

I keep the ticket stub from our first concert in my wallet.

The comfort I felt when you covered my feet with the blanket stays with me.

I replay our bad karaoke version of that pop song and it makes me warm.

That shy look you gave me at the bookstore is one of my favorite memories.

I sometimes stare at the coffee stain on my notebook from the day we met.

I remember you teaching me how to fold origami from that paper crane you kept.

The feeling of sitting next to you at the movie is what I want to remember.

I still taste the burnt toast you made that morning and it makes me laugh.

That tiny dent on your phone reminds me of when you dropped it and laughed.

I feel proud telling my sister about the time you fixed the heater.

I promise to answer the door at midnight when you come home from work.
