Remember the time you lent me your car
and I dented it?
I thought you’d kill me…

But you didn’t.
Remember the time I forgot to tell you the
dance was formal, and you came in
jeans?
I thought you’d hate me…

But you didn’t.
Remember the times I’d flirt with
other boys just to make you jealous, and
you were?
I thought you’d drop me…

But you didn’t.
There were plenty of things you did to put
up with me,
to keep me happy, to love me, and there
are
so many things I wanted to tell
you when you returned from
Vietnam…
But you didn’t…..
I think the person the poet is talking about
would have been very embarrassed when
they turn up to the dance in jeans and
everyone else was in suits and dresses. I
also think that they were very fond of the
poet not to get mad at them for not
telling them the dance in jeans. But still
that would have been awkward! 
The Person in question must have been furious and
yet still kept her. This illuminates just how
important she was to him. The poet obviously loved
the man considering she felt the need to go to
such extremes for his attention. I can decode her
thankfulness to the man as she states also “I
thought you’d drop me but you didn’t” This explains
to us just how grateful she truly is, using suspense
in her rhythm, trying to get her point across.
This stanza is the most vivid image
throughout the poem. This image shows us
just how much she truly loved him, and the
most powerful image in the poem, the
death of her love. The reminiscent style of
this poem helps us to get an image of how
much she loves and misses him.
