I will always remember
your hair cloistered between my fingers.
The dimness of your room
Your half shadowed face inches above mine,
snow flakes on your forehead,
melting between us.

Your mouth half-opened
the entire universe trembling inside.
Your voice encompassing me,
all over,
tearing me apart.

I will always remember
how you scarred my skin
and how,
every single day,
I searched the trail of your breath

Between the years we could have defied,
Between the oceans we could have swallowed,
Between the destinies we could have cheated
Between the words we could have said,
Between the summers we could have captured

and stuffed in that small hole on my chest
screaming your name,
demanding to be eaten
by you.
