Tell me again about your memories of us
Of the loveliness-es and the honour and the courage
Of how you found me
And how I found you
Tell me now
So it will be branded like hot toffee on the skin
Painful and scalding and sweet
And never to be forgotten
Tell me of what you offered me
Of what I offered you
Of our first shy kiss
Of the warriors we fought
Of the battles we endured and won
Tell me again how all water is the first water
How all rocks are the beginning of creation
Tell me as you hold me like the first time we embraced
Tell me again about your memories of us
Tell me
Because the world is closing in and I’m afraid
