I remember everything.
I remember finding a bird in briars.
I remember the bird dying.
I remember all of my belongings going missing.
I remember being pushed underwater by my sisters.
I remember staying up late and eating pumpkin pie.
I remember staying on their heels through the woods.
I remember when the visits became less often.
I remember not wanting to call you mom.
I remember when the calls stopped.
I remember when you lost contact with me.
I remember 6th grade, when you ate lunch with me.
I remember how uncomfortable I was.
I remember the contact stopping again.
I remember you calling when you were in the hospital.
I remember thinking you might die.
I remember seeing you.
I remember how nervous I was.
I remember forgiving you.
I remember leaving.
I remember deciding to not let you in to my heart.
I remember you calling when your mother died.
I remember going to her funeral.
I remember going to Barnes and Noble.
I remember how much fun I had.
I remember trusting you.
I remember you losing contact again.
I remember thanking God I didn't let you in my heart.
I remember saying that I will never trust you now.
I remember the hurt I felt reading over this.
I remember forgiving you.
Again.
But I remember nothing.

I can't even remember which one of these happened first.

Your just like him to me now.
