I learned today That our cells regenerate Every seven years. It gives me peace To know that in seven years My body will no longer know you. In seven years my skin Will no longer tingle At your touch. In seven years my tongue Will no longer remember The taste that your lips allowed. In seven years my eyes Will no longer see you On every street corner. In seven years my ears Will no longer hear The music in your voice. In seven years my nose Will no longer smell Your cologne in my bed. But I learned another fact today: Your braincells never go. How tormenting it is That you'll be gone from all my senses But, in seven years, still haunt my mind.

Seven Years
I learned today That our cells regenerate Every seven years. It gives me peace To know that in seven years My body will no longer know you. In seven years my skin Will no longer tingle At your touch. In seven years my tongue Will no longer remember The taste that your lips allowed. In seven years my eyes Will no longer see you On every street corner. In seven years my ears Will no longer hear The music in your voice. In seven years my nose Will no longer smell Your cologne in my bed. But I learned another fact today: Your braincells never go. How tormenting it is That you'll be gone from all my senses But, in seven years, still haunt my mind.
