remind me

I stood drenched in the rain on the cold city streets. No cars or no light, except for one red restaurant light flickering on and off. The city was as dead as how I felt now. The only sound was the rain and his breathing. I faced my boyfriend. I soaked in the way he looked, the curve of his jaw, the way he laughed, the way his hands once held mine. I shivered as I focused on his voice. It was full of sorrow, "...We can't do this anymore Gorgeous." I smiled sadly, he always called me that name when he was serious. 

He stood only three feet away but I could tell he wanted to hug me and save me from all of this, maybe even save himself too. He continued, "I think we both had seen this coming. This is really the only way and I would do anything to stop it but I can't. I don't know what will come next but what I do know is that I love you so much, I really do."

 I could feel myself breaking. He was right. I knew that this moment would have happened no matter what, I just never imagined it would hurt this bad. I looked deep into his eyes. The eyes I said 'I love you' to, the eyes I planned my future with, the eyes I would have died with. I couldn't take it any more. I ran into his arms. Mascara ran down my face and splashed onto his arms that always had held me so tight when I was sad. I looked up at his chiseled face, God I loved him. I finally spoke after what seemed like ages, "I will always love, but you are right it's time to say good bye."

Something buzzed in his hand. His phone screen lit up. I could see the pain in his face as he looked down at it. It was time. I uncurled myself from him as he looked longingly at me. We both started to back away from each other. As we parted I could feel our hearts being ripped apart. As he started to walk away I put on my brave face and smiled, "Don't get into any trouble, you hear? You be good." He turned back with a half smile smirk and his eyes light up with mischief and yelled over the pouring rain, "I will Lovely. I'll be good. Be good too!" I laughed. He could alway make me laugh. I sighed because I was in trouble. I already missed him.

My hand buzzed. I glanced at it as my phone screen lit up. He had texted, "If you love me, please remind me to forget you... because you are pretty unforgettable."
