it reminds me of what a wonderful person you are
it reminds me how you make me laugh

it reminds me how you make that person laugh
it reminds me of seeing you enjoy that person’s company

it reminds me of your playful touch
the playful, light-hearted touch
for a person from whom you want nothing
it reminds me of the night we first met

it reminds me that you can say you miss me
somehow, even when you wake up next to me

at times like these
it reminds me that
i have never been able to figure out
what else I can give you
to make you whole

you live in the future
you live in the past
i struggle to live now

it reminds me that you were my best friend
it reminds me that you are anyone’s best friend
