somehow you forgot

 I tried to let you in

Somehow you forgot


I loved you so much that it hurt to breathe without you

Somehow you forgot


Some days I needed you more than I could say out loud

Somehow you forgot


I needed intimacy and affection from you, without sex

Somehow you forgot


I needed to feel special sometimes, I would’ve liked that

Somehow you forgot


You excluded me more than you care to acknowledge or remember

It hurt so bad I stopped asking

Somehow you forgot


I cried to you

Somehow you forgot


I needed you for shelter 

Somehow you forgot


What about all the times I went out my way for you?

Somehow you forgot


Remember how I would grab snacks or something for you randomly

Somehow you forgot


I think how often I picked you over everybody else

Somehow you forgot


I remember every birthday of yours we shared

Somehow you forgot


I remember hopping trains to get to you

Jumping into ubers and lyfts for you

Somehow you forgot


I remember giving you my last

Somehow you forgot


I remember telling you how lonely I felt in the world

Somehow you forgot


I remember falling asleep on the phone together

Somehow you forgot


I remember giving you more of me than I ever gave anyone

Somehow you forgot


I remember being perfect for you

Somehow you forgot


I remember you taking random pics and videos of me

Somehow you forgot


I remember the love after the fights

Somehow you forgot


I remember giving you all the power

Somehow you forgot


I remember wanting to live in each other’s skin

Somehow you forgot


I remember the drunk nights together

Somehow you forgot


Days that were bad I couldn’t sleep without you

Somehow you forgot


I filled needs I saw you had

Somehow you forgot


My love

Somehow you forgot


We had so many plans

Somehow you forgot


Or maybe that was me

Or both


All the late night calls I answered

Somehow you forgot


All the late night visits

Somehow you forgot


All the times I swallowed my pain and my pride

For you, for us

Somehow you forgot


All the “firsts” we shared

Somehow you forgot


I needed comfort that day all those years ago 

Somehow you forgot


"I could've helped you thru that, loved you thru that."

somehow you forgot


I needed help all these years

Somehow you forgot


I needed love, pure unconditional love

Somehow you forgot


I damn near killed myself for us

Somehow you forgot


How could you forget me?

Us?


Somehow you forgot to notice me

Somehow you forgot to love me

to kiss and hug me

to hear me


How?


You forgot to see me


Share your secrets so for once

I can forget you too
