I remember… I remember

I remember when you thought I was good to you,

and next day you bailed

I remember when you slammed the door so hard

that the door knob fell

I remember time and place for every mistake

I remember the shaming games you insisted on playing

I remember that your birthday is in May

but still I was ready from November

I rememberkol 7aga khalitiny ageb-halik wenty 3omrik ma akonty me7tag

I remember lesanik el taweel w albik el bakheel 3alaya

2aloly sebha! I remember! olt mesh fahmeen dol 7aqdeen 3alaya

I remember our long walks

and strong talks that started fading out

After your heart stopped and mind started to take over now

I remember your queen-like taste

or was it your tooth past

I remember you smelled nice too

even after we played and chased

leh mesh shayef enena 3omrna ma etf2na?

ezay msh bayen

I remember you saying that cuz

I remember everything

I remember lama el bena maat

still remember

I remember lama sotna kan 3aaly fil sokat

I remember

I remember how you dressed on date night

insecure that you might somehow

Stumble on your ten centimeter heels

and embarrass yourself, right

I remember your father’s tone

when I tried to approach him

And I remember your voice on the phone

crying and choking

Still talking about how we should move on and

ni7awel nensa

Ni7ot kol 7aga fi sandoo2 zekrayat madfoon

be3eed and never to remember

I remember you nagging me about checking out

more of Lil Wayne and Drake

And I tried my best to enjoy their tones

I remember both sounded the same

Do you remember men sana zy delwa2ty et2abelna

Do you remember when the haters couldn't get mabena

Then I remembered that I never loved you

and that you were never there

Needed or not you bailed

Good thing I remember my tale
