Simon
My apologies for not updating in 4 months! The time sure flies. My apologies also if you don't like Simon, because this is the third oneshot about him. Really, I put this up because I was feeling guilty about not updating in so long. I'm working on some for Magnus so those will be up soon.
This one made me sad to write, because eventually we are all going to forget so much. Hopefully like Simon we can all hold onto what is really important, though.
Read and Review!
It took me 350 years to forget your face, Clary. Twelve weeks to forget the exact shade of your eyes. Sixty-four minutes to forget the sound of you breathing. 173 days to forget exactly where each freckle was on your face. 207 years to forget your laugh. 210 to forget your smile. In eleven months I forgot if you could wink with your right or left eye. Thirty years and I couldn't recall what our last conversation was about.
In the long span of my life, we spent such a small portion of it together. Yet still my memories of you have far outlasted anything else.
It took me twenty years to forget my address with my family. Fifty-three to forget yours. Cell phones have long been obsolete. I remembered your number for 254 years. Do you remember how every year on our birthdays we would go to that little Italian restaurant a block from your house? I went there for thirty-two years, until they closed it down.
I forgot what your favorite dish there was after twelve years. Your favorite song three years after that. Thirteen years and I couldn't remember why you hated cottage cheese.
It's been 350 years, Clary. 350 years without you. I can hardly even remember one thing about you. It doesn't matter though, because I can still remember the one thing that is most important.
I love you.
