Dear Max,

Dear Max,

Do you remember?
I looked up,
and awkwardly caught you looking at me and giggled.
You winked at me.
I just smiled.

Do you remember?
You said you would make my birthday special,
and I told you you were the sweetest.
You promised it would be perfect.
I was so excited.

Do you remember?
I laughed when you kissed me.
You asked what was so funny.
I just kissed you again.
You pulled away and looked into my eyes,
and said it was perfect.
You said you never wanted to leave that moment.

Do you remember?
We fought.
You were only worried about yourself.
I thought you were being stupid.
I was sad,
and you were angry.

Do you remember?
You told me I should feel like shit,
but i didn't do anything wrong.
You said I was a terrible person.
I cried on Spencer's shoulder for hours.

Do you remember?
You rode past me on your bike,
and I started crying.
You looked me in the eye,
but you didn't even flinch.

Do you remember?
You apologized with a three page text.
I was nervous to accept it,
but I did.

Do you remember?
I came to talk to you,
to see where we stood.
Were we friends?
What was going on?
You looked into my eyes.
You turned around,
and walked away.

I remember.
I don't know if you do.
But I...
I remember.

I really enjoyed reading your poem! It was like watching a movie. There were a few places that confused me though. I had to read some lines over to understand what had happened. I think there are too many 'you's and 'I's that it kind of gets jumbled. But that makes me think harder which I like :)

I really like the line:

You said you never wanted to leave that moment.


Good job.

What a cute, and sad little story :( Poetry really does help get out best the things you want to say. Although, personally, I feel it would have flowed a little better if there were a rhyme scheme to it. But I suppose it's not that type of poetry. Still though, very nice :)

I remember.His hate is a little too random.
