& even though you said
You'll always love me

& even though our hands
No longer grasp each others

& even though your lips
No longer caress my neck

I still find myself
Searching for your face

I still find myself
Listening for your laugh

While resting on your side of the bed

With Primroses planted
In the palm of my hands

& Tulips *******
In my mess of tangled hair

I ask my mind
If it would do me some kindness

& forget about you
With your stained tee shirts
& kind eyes

& if it would just
Omit all the sweet words
That danced from your lips
& swam in my head

Only than would my heart heal

Only than would I remember to move on

With dirt crusted onto
The bottom of my feet
I dance in our garden

& slowly pick the weeds
From my heart

Even though I remember you

with clarity
