I’m starting to forget what your eyes look like in the sunlight,
Though I do remember how they looked on that rainy day when you left for home –
gray as the clouds in the sky, or was it gray as the ones in our hearts?
I’m beginning to forget some of the little things,
such as how many freckles you have,
as well as their location,
but I do remember those beautiful
leopard spots on your neck that I love to kiss.
I forget how large your hands are in comparison to mine,
But I do remember that your thumb and pinkie finger
are almost directly across from each other
when you spread your fingers.
Don’t ask me why I remember that,
but not how your teeth are aligned.
It’s not as if I didn’t spend enough time staring at your smile.
I tried to memorize it, but I suppose memory
cannot always withstand the test of time.
I don’t remember if you ever snored while we slept next to each other,
(Which may be a good thing)
But I do know that I never slept so well
As I did with you –
Safe from all the nightmares of my past.
I don’t remember ever having met anyone so remarkable,
But I do know, that I’m glad I met you.
