Do You Remember?

Remember when we would sit on the porch, just the two of us, and we'd laugh? Remember when I would help you with your math homework because you didn't understand? Remember when my heart was broken and you would let me cry on your shoulder? Remember when you finally approved of one of my boyfriends? Remember when you said that we'd be friends forever? Do you remember that? I do.
Do you remember the time that we were locked out of my house and you stayed with me until my parents got home? Do you remember the time that I waited for you at the mall for an hour and I made you pay for the drink that I bought while waiting? Remember the time that we went swimming and you pretended to drown me? Remember the time you stood up for me? Remember the time that you said you'd always be there for me? Do you remember that? I do.
Remember how you used to walk me home from practice, even though you were tired and sweaty? Remember how you used to come with me to basketball games, even though you didn't like basketball, just so I could cheer my boyfriend on? Remember how we used to get ice cream and you would always let me get the banana split? Remember how we used to talk for hours on end about our futures? Remember how you used to be my best friend? Do you remember that? I do.
I remember a lot of things about our friendship, but what stands out most in my mind, is what ended it. Do you remember that? I do. I remember what you did. You assumed that I did something to hurt you. You ASSUMED that I HURT you. When you assumed that, it hurt me. We can never sit on the porch or go swimming or eat ice cream ever again. Somehow, something happened, and we both got hurt, maybe not intentionally, but we did. Maybe you've forgotten all about me, but I will always remember.
