Remember When – Author L.J. Diaz

He took me by surprise

I didn’t even realize

that I was still alive.

I thought I’d forgotten

how to get through

and survive

the endless nights.

Out of sight,

out of mind?

Yeah right.

Remember when we would

stay awake till sunrise,

how we put the world to rights?

You gave me some of the

best times of my life

but they weren’t mine to keep,

you ripped them from me slowly

like a recurring nightmare,

stealing me away from sleep.

You casually crept up to me

and I wasn’t ready yet

but that didn’t stop you

and I couldn’t stop you,

I could only ever prepare

myself for the upset,

the gut-wrenching regret.

I try so very hard to forget

that you took me by surprise,

that I’m even still alive.

Excerpt from the book “Catching Snowflakes”
