I can't forget

I can’t forget that day I met you,
You were there acting all cool and laid back.
You asked me (casually) if you could give me a ride,
I can’t forget that goofy smile.
I can’t forget our growing friendship,
You soon became my best friend.
You were my shoulder to cry on.
I can’t forget your reassuring eyes.
I can’t forget the day I started to love you.
You were playfully teasing me,
You then hugged me close, comforting.
I can’t forget that sweet scent of your cologne.
I can’t forget the day you kissed me.
Your lips brushed mine lightly.
Your kiss then stole my breath away.
I can’t forget the way I felt: blissful.
I can’t forget the day you broke my heart,
Your words tore me in half,
You told me you hated me; leave you alone.
I can’t forget the day I died.
