I remember, when we first met. I remember, our first date. I remember, our first kiss. I remember, our first big argument. I remember, how you called me names. I remember, when you started calling hysterically. I remember, what it felt like when your hands were wrapped around me neck. I remember, crying late at night because I didn?t know what to do. I remember, how you?d show me off to all your insignificant friends. I remember, losing all of my self respect. I remember, having to cover up all the bruises you left when you were? messed? up. I remember, how my best friend was right about you from the start. I remember, the look on your face when I finally said ?no?! I remember, hitting the wall, your fist, and then finally the kitchen floor. I remember, waking up, but not knowing where I was. I remember, feeling the aches all over my body from head to toe. I remember, getting up and running out the door. I remember, rushing home and not telling a soul what had happened. I remember, being so afraid of what would happen if I told. I remember, wanted to die just so that the cycle would end. I remember, when you called and told me how much you cared for me. But, I don?t remember, if you every sincerely apologized for all the things you did.
