Walking I turn to you and ask
Have we been down this road before
Have we seen these sites
Have we seen these people
Have we said these words?
An indifferent shrug greets my question
Causing me to pause
To think
To reflect
A question is asked
Do you remember when
We went to the movie
It was sad
You cried
I put my arm around you
Wiped away your tears
I remember you holding me
Comforting me
Do you remember when
We went to the park
We played on the slide
On the swing
We laughed
We smiled
We screamed
We cheered
I remember your smile
I remember your laugh
Do you remember when
We went to the store
I bought you that trinket
You did not have the money
Neither did I, but it did not matter
I did it while you were looking away
I remember your generosity
I remember your kindness
Walking I turn to you and ask
Have we been down this road before
Have we seen these sites
Have we seen these people
Have we said these words?
Does it matter?
I remember being with you.
