I Remember

I remember, The tears in my eyes, The red of my face, The wetness of my hair from the rain outside. I remember, The paleness of your skin, The whiteness of the hospital, The space around you that was so depressing. I remember, The dead geraniums next to you, The breath you were breathing, The pain on your face. I remember, The day you were hospitalized, The day I cried for you, The day you promised you would not leave me. I remember, You, The cancer, The hospital, And the tears. I remember, My best friend forever, Being treated for cancer, And, The first time I ever cried out my tears.
