Totally fictional, by the way. It just spilled out. I've pretty much given up on poetry since everything comes out so awful, but here's my first poem in a year or so. Cheers.

Today I realized
That I don't ever want to leave this town
And I don't ever want to forget
That time we kissed beneath the stars
Or the day you left me
Crying on the floor
Today I realized
That I don't care if it hurts
I don't ever want to forget
The day I skinned my knee so raw
It was bleeding for a month
I don't ever want to forget you
Even if it hurts so bad
I want to keep it raw
Even when it hurts
I don't ever want to lose
The memories that keep me up at night
I don't want to lose
The sound of your soul
Or the touch of your voice
When I'm all alone
Because
I will never forget
Even when it hurts so bad
