Support Me

Hey, it’s me.
Remember?
The one who first greeted you.
Made it feel like home.

Do you remember me?
I showed you a way.
Taught you tricks.
Introduced you to so many.

Don’t you remember?

Hi, it’s me again.
I think you remember.
I was your first friend.
I think you told me that.
I made it less lonely.
Made it easier to get around.

I hope you remember.

I showed you what worked.
You made new friends.
Maybe we grew apart.
I guess.
But you never forgot.

Right?

Hey, I hope you’re getting these.
It’s your old friend.
The one you said made a difference.
I hope things are going well for you.
I’m glad you’re getting along.

You know me, right?

I don’t mean to ask much,
But maybe, just maybe,
you could let me know
I’m not forgotten.
If you wouldn’t mind.

Hey hey, it’s still me.
I just wondered:
Did you get the last few messages?
I get busy and forget sometimes,
too.

I know it was hard for you at first.
I never did anything to get something,
but I’d be grateful if you said hi.
I just feel a little down.
They say to be ready for storms.
The wind’s picking up,
and the sky's gotten cloudy.

I just want to know
that I mattered.

Hi.

I guess I get it,
and I (try not to) take it personally.
I just need you
the way you said you needed me.

Do you remember?

I don’t trust my memory now.

A first friend.
Someone who’s glad they know me.
To remind me I matter.

I hoped you’d let me know,
But I don’t mean to burden.
I’m not mad as much as
sad,
and I guess I feel a little used.

But I don’t think you remember me.

Tell me I’m wrong.

Please.

Hey. It’s someone you don’t know.

I wanted to say hi and,

I get it.

But I miss you.

I also miss me.
