I Remember....

I remember the rooms..cold..non inviting...

I remember the early mornings...my routine...the sadness..

I remeber the fresh air...sun on my face...wind in my hair...

I remember the fight...the battle...phyical...emotional...

I remember the smells...

I remember the people...stuck up...friendly...caring...yet not...

I remember the meetings...silent...torture...

I remember the knitting...long hours...fun times...

I remember the speed scrabble games...everyday...

I remember the girls...each different...each amazing...so loving...

I remember the conversations...laughing...crying...

I remember the tears...painful...a waterfall of emotion...

I remember the clothes...

I remember the frustration...it consumed me...

I remember the worry...anxiousness...

I remember the failure...disappointment...

I remember the good times...

I remember the bad times...

I remember the visits...they brightened my day...

I remember the silences...my stubborness...the awkwardness...

I remember the friendships...strangers...yet so close...

I remember the enemies...the hate...the anger...

I remember the walks...they were never enough...

I remember the longing...a better day...a better life...

I remember the hellos...

I remember the goodbyes...

I remember the scheduele...the ordered days...

I remember the triumphant times...it felt so good...

I remember the jokes...let's run away...

I remember the what if's...

I remember the needles...tubes...machines...

I remember the smiles...

I remember the frowns...

I remember the sickness...too much of everything...

I remember the warmth...

I remember the cold...

I remember the waiting...all I ever did was wait...

I remember the buildings...old...brick...with hidden stories...

I remember the outings...the chance to break free...

I remember the books...the writing...

I remember the change of mind...

I remember the feelings...horrible...stressful...good and bad...

I remember teh puzzles...they took my mind away...

I remember the freedom...oh so free...
