Favorite Quote:
“...we should be remembered for the things we do. The things we do are the most important things of all. They are more important than what we say or what we look like. The things we do outlast our mortality. The things we do are like monuments that people build to honour heroes after they've died. They're like the pyramids that the Egyptians built to honour the Pharaohs. Only instead of being made out of stone, they're made out of the memories people have of you. That's why your deeds are like your monuments. Built with memories instead of with stone.” - RJ Palacio


You said you would be there.
I remember.
I asked if you would.
You said ok.

I remember.
I remember that’s what you said.
I’ll be there.
But you weren’t.

Ok, ok I told myself.
He’ll be here.
He will.
Because I asked him if he would.
He said ok.

He said ok.
Right?
Am I remembering wrong?
Ok means Ok and you must’ve forgotten.

Here I’ll tell you what it means.
It means yes.
It means alright.
It means ok.

But you knew what it meant.
But if you did,
Why did you say it?
Why did you say you’d be there
When you wouldn’t.

You asked me to just forget about it.
You said you were sorry.
I’m supposed to say ok.
But I’m not.
