for you i said yes

do you remember the time
we got lost in a rainstorm
and my shoes got so soggy
i threw them away and bought new ones

do you remember the time
we drove to the mountains and it snowed
and i kissed your cold sweet lips
and we defrosted our feet
under warm wool sheets

do you remember the time
i lied
and i cursed myself for being such a foolish man
and i made promises i thought i could keep

do you remember the time
you gave yourself to me
and i took you for granted

do you remember when
we decided to end
the
damn
thing

and i held you in my arms one last time
tears streaming down our faces
and i cursed God
and i cursed myself

you looked at me and asked if
i wanted to end
it
and i said no

you looked at me and asked if
it was the right thing to do
to end
it
and i said yes

for you i said yes

i held you close
i told you that no matter what
i would always love you
you said the same
and you walked out
the door
and i never saw you again
