thought #222- i remember you

i remember you. you were that person who i met from a friend of a friend. another strange degree of familiarity somewhat beckoning for our paths to cross. i was awkward, you were you too but somehow it worked. i remember the way you used to walk, your long limbs swinging like a pendulum as if you were physically cutting the air in crisp, rhythmic strides. you always had that serious sort of face, like you were always in deep thought. brooding and mysterious. i thought you did it on purpose to make you attractive to women. i remember you. people always thought of you as careless and selfish, but i knew you were different. you would take me home in the early hours of the morning, regardless if it was on your way or not. you would call me when you knew i was alone. it was the little things. i remember you. you didn't talk a lot, but when you did you spoke veracity as if your speech were paint being splattered across a white wall. i remember you. it wasn't hard to fall in love with you. even when i didn't intend to. it just came to a point when i woke up one day and realised how much i really cared. i remember you. the way you laughed or embraced me or yawned. it was so interesting and defining. i remember you. you were that person that meant so much to me. at one point in my life. shamefully, at only one point in my life. because you left as quickly as you came. one moment you were important, then suddenly you disappeared. i remember you, you were that person who showed me how easy it is to steal someone's heart and how easy it is to stop caring.

love,
