rememories

I don't want to be your once
upon a time,
a dilapidated and insignificant
memory for those
that come after me
to compare themselves to

I don't want to be the
residual name left on your
movie rental account
someone who crosses your
mind occassionally, only to
remind you of your wasted youth
and make you feel proud
of how far you have come

I want to be your happily
ever after
the one you come home to
every night
the one you wake up to
the one you believe in

because every story
has a beginning
and an end
and it is only the end
that leaves a lasting impression
