Remember by Valerie Parente

When it’s all said and done
and all you have left
are fuzzy memories of someone
you might not remember the conversations you had verbatim
you might not remember their laugh and their cadence
you might not remember what you did on a random Tuesday night
you might not remember the reason for a random Wednesday drive
as time goes on you might not remember
the person in your head
but the one thing you will always remember
is how much you loved them.
