When I Forget

by @kewayne-wadley

You live between the space of my fingers, the caress between my lips. I only remember when I forget. Like last night I thought of you, and it felt like you were there. Suddenly, my hands felt like yours Were there. Creep is such a bad word, But there is no other way to describe it. I swear I was not thinking about you only to realize that I was. And then, I felt the familiar weight of your presence. You live between the space of my thoughts, somewhere that's not a dream but also not just a memory. When I close my eyes, you are there, and I question if you're thinking of me. Every time I think and I realize it— you disappear. But the weight the weight of you I'll never forget. I only remember when I forget
