To Remember You By! Poem by Artemis Oracle

To Remember You By!



I am not good at writing my feelings. But I just felt like putting this down. This is my very first attempt. Hopefully, I'll get better.


I do not remember
The first time our eyes met
I cannot recall
No matter how much I try

So many clips flash by
just memories
I know not what is real
What I have conjured

First time I noticed
you smile
Brown eyes crinkling
Lips curved, amused

All the right answers
No pride
And that amused smile
When I faltered

We were so young
I never did know
How special you were
But I noticed you

Then, the epiphany
A childish game turned sad
You saved the day
Brought back my smile

I saw you each day
rose tinted shades, a silver lining
Alas! I was too blind to see
The heartbreak ahead

We were so young
It was never meant to be
I see that now
Then, it just hurt

How many years have
Flown past
New colors, new shades
Cloaking us firm

But I still think of you
A smile in my heart
You were my first love
Although I knew it not then

I wish I could have
Thanked you
A memory from my childhood
Oh! So sweet

I wish you could read
My thoughts
Send me a token
To remember you by!
