Do You Remember?

Do you remember when we first met at St. Peter’s orientation and I came up to you and asked you if you knew Ebonee? Do you remember when you got mad at me and didn’t speak to me for weeks because I didn’t remember to bring you my note cards? Do you remember singing God is In Control in front of the whole school with like, four people, and we thought we were cool until we realized that everybody thought we looked like idiots? Do you remember when we thought Mr. Dunn was Jesus? Do you remember when you ran for president, won and then left the school? Do you remember when we went to the prom and we thought that for one day we were invincible? Do you remember that day Vacation Bible School spilled over to the hotel and we worshipped God till 3 o’clock in the morning? Remember the next day we had to work and how we fell asleep outside the job and left the kids outside waiting? (The Kids!) Do you remember coming to see me at Temple? Remember how you threatened Hakim to leave me alone and we’ve never spoken since? Remember Whitney Houston’s voiceover’s in Waiting to Exhale? Do you remember “you are so amazing unbelievable baby, it’s you that makes me smile when everything is crazy?” Do you remember when all of that went away and we grew up? Do you remember when I loved you and you hated me…or….when You loved me and I hated you? I do. Do you? I hope so. Because it seems as though that’s all we have left.
