You Will Remember Me (Nostalgia) - An original poem by RJ Marmol When your days are lonely And your nights are slow When you realize that on a Saturday You have nowhere to go You will remember me. When you drive your car And that sob song comes on You will find yourself sighing And humming along When you pass by that cafe That you always go to It will stir a memory Of a favorite haiku When everyone you talk to Is a "yes, man" you know You will miss all the nights That I argued with you. When you go to a newsstand And read a headline or two You will think of the mornings When I read them to you. When you pass by someone with the same hair or perfume You'd be wishing I was there waiting for you at home. You will remember the times That I hit you too hard Because you were too annoying And or maddeningly glad. You will remember the hours You waited and cursed Because it took me a day To get dressed and find a matching purse. You will remember that it takes me forever To finish up in the shower That I dare not leave the house Without my lip balm and hair blower. You will remember my silly dreams and my lofty ideals You will remember my stupidity and the times that I bleed. All those times I cried over a sappy old movie Because the hero lost his true love and how I felt sorry For a love found and lost at such a short time For a love so forbidden that they call it a crime. You will remember me in pizzas, ice creams and noodles Through people and events and the mere sight of poodles. Through walks and talks Through smiles and tears Through glory and defeat Through pain and bliss. You will remember me. Oh, you know you would. Through the steps that you make and the times that you stood. But right now I see you're happy right where you are The crowds are distracting And the music's always playing You may not remember me now But oh someday soon you will And know that when that day comes I'll remember you still So wherever you are And whoever you're with When it gets a little quiet Do me a favor, Steve. Write me a letter Put in a sentence or two Send me something to read And remind me of you. (end)
