more than I want to forget I want to remember you are a quiet calm that I want to detail as you sleep the tint and shade of your eyelids as you inhale exhale illuminated by a soft glow I want to remember your voice was a river when whispering about love rushing, returning in a rhythm that matched the slight upturn of the corners of your lips as if you just remembered I'm next to you I want to remember the small noises of your nature your body ticks like a grandfather clock waiting for the sunrise you make tiny noises in the bottom of your throat as you move you have told me you love me thousands of times without opening your mouth I wish to touch you but I am afraid that if I do I will disturb your surface as if you were water ripples running over your skin more than I want to forget I want to remember every piece of you
