How will I ever?

RenPoems Poems

In my mind, there’s a place I always go when I remember your face, where we hold hands, walking and laughing. The same place visits me in sleep, memories so vivid it feels like we’ve lived as one for lifetimes, since the day we met. How will I ever forget your smile? Even with everything to do, I wish I were just staring at you. It’s the same feeling that made me surrender, something I cannot explain in words, something about you I adore so much, something about you that fills the quiet void in my soul, something about everything about you. How will I ever forget your eyes? I miss you in the morning before sleep leaves my mind. I miss you in the sunlight before it reaches my skin. I miss you in the breathing of nature, in the songs of crickets, I miss you like the evening primrose waiting for night. How will I ever forget your touch? I’d give up all I am to be someone to you, like the Pacific oyster, enduring the ache to form a pearl. Even when the numen curse, I would lie in harm’s way to protect you. If, in dire days, the blade of righteousness rusts, I would still find a way to unsheathe it for you. How will I ever forget your words? All the memories of us loving each other, all the happiness I felt with you, all the lights you lit in my life, all the times my heart beat for you, how will I ever forget you?
