My greatest fear is that I'm insignificant.
That people might be able to move from my life and not remember me a month from now.
That I don't matter nearly enough to be significant to anyone.
So promise me you'll remember.
Remember my voice.
My smile.
My laugh.
Remember the times we spent in silence, simply enjoying the togetherness.
The shared secrets.
The inside jokes.
Remember the random facts I liked to tell.
The nicknames we used.
The words we overused.
Remember me, even if you start to forget, try.
Because you matter so desperately to me.
And I don't want to feel foolish for memorizing your every move.
A space for me to empty my brain of all the poems, letters, and half-finished stories that swirl around in my head all day.
