I cannot recall the way your arms felt around me,
nor the softness of your lips against my own.
I do not remember the song or the rhythm as we danced,
close as we could push our bodies.
It slips my mind exactly what day your birthday was,
or if I ever called you,
to bless you on that day.
I cannot revive a single memory of the specific events,
of the time we spent together.

But after all this time, and the distance between us,
I have never forgotten the way that I loved you.
Nor the blue of your eyes,
or your heart shaped face,
And how beautiful you were to me.

I have never forgotten,
the way your voice was the only one I ever wished to hear utter,
the words that always made my heart skip a beat.
Nor will I ever forget the day
that you forgot me.
