I had this idea for my first assignment last term, about a poem and a text conversation. Some people got it and some didn't, but I'm still super proud of it!

---

Remember the night we met?

Our conversations that lasted until sunrise

And the way we left one another, knowing our lives had just changed.

Remember our first date?

Where you kissed me at the very top of the Ferris wheel

And we bought a cotton candy to share.

Your message could not be sent.

Remember the first time you made me laugh?

When you met mine.

Remember how we weren't scared to fall?

The butterflies we got, the times it felt like we were the only ones on Earth.

Remember the good times?

Before everything came crumbling down.

Your message could not be sent.

Remember those days when you thought it was just a cold?

The dread when we learned it was something more.

The fear things would never be the same again.

Remember the hospital gown?

The uncomfortable bed sheets and the wires they attached to every part of you.

Remember hoping for the best?

Your message could not be sent.

Remember the day the doctors told us the chemo didn't work?

How I broke down, sobbing, holding your hand.

Remember the lead up to the end?

The disease eating away at you, bit by bit, until there was nothing left.

Remember the way we said goodbye?

That it was just for now. Not forever.

Your message could not be sent.

I hope you remember that I loved you.

Through the ups and downs.

Through the twists and turns.

Now.

Always.

Forever

Your message could not be sent.

I hope in your last minutes, you remembered it all.

Sorry, I think you have the wrong number.
