Remembrance

I remember the first time I saw him. My heart skipped a beat. I remember how happy I was. I remember the first time he made me cry. I remember promises now broken. I remember thinking nothing would ever change. I remember sitting down to figure out when things did. I remember how crisp the morning air was that day at the park. I remember how sweet victory was as my ball swished through the net. I remember my smile as he handed me the flowers he picked. I remember happiness, peace, serenity, bliss. I remember his tone as he criticized me. I remember my confusion at his accusations. I remember all the tears I cried as my world came crashing down. I remember sadness, pain, tears, devastation. I remember when I was number one. I remember being his Pee Wee. I remember how comfortable and happy he was with me. I remember the pain as I immortalized my love for him. I remember silently hoping I was different. I remember believing he would always love me. I remember feeling foolish. I remember my heart hurt. I remember how many others have felt this way. I remember now I should have known better.
