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 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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

I kept the sunflower petal you pressed between book pages.

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

I kept the concert bracelet you tied around my wrist.

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

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

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

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 saved the napkin you scribbled directions on for me.

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.

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

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.

I love going through the photos from our road trip.

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

I replay your laugh from that rainy café in my head.

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.
