Do You Remember?

Do you remember when we first met?

I got flustered and spilled my life story.

You wanted me to leave –

But I thought you were cute.

Do you remember the spaghetti?

You used bologna instead of meat.

You shared your meal with me –

I thought you were sweet.

Do you remember the girls?

They all wanted you and so did I.

We were friends but I was afraid –

You were fun to tease.

Do you remember our first date?

We watched Stardust at your place.

I made you make the first move –

Those kisses were sweet.

Do you remember that night?

We couldn't stop talking or holding each other.

You said you wanted to marry me –

I realized I did too.

Do you remember the butterflies?

I know I had them, and so did you.

I kept running into doors –

You thought it was sweet.

Do you remember that afternoon?

I was mad, I knew you left the box.

We walked up to the falls –

You were nervous.

Do you remember what I said?

You looked around to make sure we were alone.

You pulled the ring from your pocket –

I said yes. You were sweet.

Do you remember our house?

The paint, the root beer, the pizza.

We did a lot of talking –

But it was perfect.

Do you remember last night?

Our son couldn't sleep without us.

We don't get a lot of sleep now –

But it's still sweet.
