You made a map
A map of me
A map of me to remind you of my love
I laughed as you traced the mountains with your fingertips
Carefully remembering each peak
Painting pictures in your mind
Through my landscape of endless fields
You ventured down the valley of my back
A smooth river of time
Climbed over blissful hills
And immersed yourself in ecstasy
You traveled across my stomach
Feeling each curve of nature
Each mark of remembrance
And found my eyes
Filled with puddles of questions
Answers to your misguided reasons
A passion feared to be lost
As time and distance separate us
So I let you draw my map
A map of my imperfections
A map of my beauty
A map to keep you close to me
After you’ve gone so very far away
