He Remembered

By Taylor Greife Staff Writer

I didn’t think it would be that hard to remember my birthday, 

I told you four times,  

I only had to tell him once, and  

He remembered. 

My favorite color has been purple my entire life, 

And you never knew that.  

I told him my favorite candle scent, and 

He remembered.  

You never asked if I was okay,  

After everything I told you. 

He asks because he knows what I’ve been through, and  

He remembered. 

There wasn’t even a day for you to remember, 

Because you never cared enough to have one. 

He knows the day because he asked, and 

He remembered.
