Please don’t forget me.  

I’m terrified that one day you’ll see something that reminds you of me.

You can’t put your finger on why it’s important

You can’t figure out why it’s so familiar.

I’m terrified that one day you’ll forget how to spell my name.

You’ll look it up, silently laughing to yourself.

You’ll give up, the search another fruitless endeavor.

I’m terrified that one day you’ll see my contact, finger hovering on call.

You will see my face smiling back at you, a picture from years ago.

You will click away, it’s not worth dredging up the extinguished storyline.

I’m terrified that one day I’ll become nothing more than a memory.

You’ll remember me as someone you used to know.

You’ll forget what my face looked like.

I’ll terrified that one day I’ll disappear from your life.

You will go through your camera roll, cleaning it out.

You will delete the pictures of me and move on.

you. will. move. on.

I’ll still remember.

What reminded me of you

How to spell your name

The outline of your face

All of the photos we took

Please don’t forget me.
