Remember When
Remember when you wrote this? Yeah, you were a different person back then. If you can’t remember, remember when you used to write like this? Yeah, there was someone who once existed who wrote like this. And this someone will fade away with time. A slow and steady fade away. Like what they say the dinosaurs did. Gradualism.
You remember having those kinds of thoughts? You remember ever worrying about whether you’d remember? Whether you’d truly never forget those who made an impact on your life, those who you carry away the name of? If you’re too embarrassed to be acquainted with this me, I don’t blame you. Don’t forget I ever existed; remember when you wrote this.
Do you remember looking at others, older others, and wondered if they had forgotten like you probably have? Do you remember all the times you worried me, child of the I? The I who never knew who you were meant to be. The I who like a hopelessly flawed parent created this perfect mental image of you. Do you remember? Do you remember which parts of me were a lie?
You remember yourself ever wondering whether you’d fade away like I have? Yeah, I’ve faded away, and all I’ve got to show for my part of the gradient is this note. There’s only you now, and if you remember, then learn from the me who once was.
Well, do you remember when you wrote this?
