Remember

Remember that time when my mom was out? All you and your grandma did was shout, So I invited you over so you could get away, Please, tell me do you remember that day? I remember it. Remember that night? How we had such fun, We ate and laughed, friendship just begun, I told you that you could spend the night, You don't have to leave, you don't have to fight, Why don't you stay here with me and just chill? We can stay up all night have fun keepin' it real, I remember. Remember how we sat on the sofa real late? And how we had big discussions like a big debate, And then how later we laughed at ourselves, So fresh, new, and perfect was our friendship, I remember you. Remember that evening we flirted so badly? How could've I known it would end so sadly, Used to be together thought those feelings were over, But as the night went on we got so much closer, I remember. Remember how we just started to kiss? I never thought I would be doing this, So unexpected how our feelings came out, Until I tried to push you off and started to shout, I remember. Remember that night and how I told you no? How you were so strong and wouldn't let me go, Why didn't anyone help me? Were my screams in vain, How you forced yourself on me causing me so much pain, Kicking and screaming and yelling real loud, Stripped of something, how can I ever be proud, I remember. Remember how after you acted the same as before, I couldn't even say anything, so I walked out the door, Take a walk to think all these things through, Started running for miles I was so mad at you, Soon it was raining like God was crying with me, Just act the same too, but how could I ever be? I remember. Remember that night long after you fell asleep? As much as I tried, how I couldn't not weep, Of course I knew it was all because of me, I wanted your happiness was I too friendly? No! I also remember that NO means NO. And I know now that I should've asked you to go. Yes, I remember. Remember how we stopped talking after that day? I remember how scarred I was that you had your way, Just one boy that helped make me so bitter towards men, How much agony I've been through how bad it's been, How after, the only guy who could touch me was my dad, I remember not saying anything is what makes me so mad, Do you remember?
