it's strange how i remember everything

all but your voice

i could remember how you smiled
whenever i looked at you
i could remember your strong spices scent
whenever we embraced
i could remember your long legs walk slowly
and i had to drag you along
i could remember your long arms around me
when we said our last goodbye
i could remember how you chewed your food
quick, with pepper and salt
i could remember how you laughed loudly
when you told me i was funny
i could remember your questioning look
whenever you didn't understand me
i could remember the way you held my hand
and when you entwined my fingers with yours
i could remember how you had your eyes closed
when i watched you in the mirror
i could remember you drink tea
and sipping from the thick straw
i could remember you staring quietly at me
whenever i explained further
i could remember your eyes lighting up
whenever you talked about something you love
i could remember the hesitance
when your hands let go of my waist
i could remember how impressed you were
when i drew that dreamcatcher on your skin
i could remember your reactions
and the words which go along with it

everything, i promise, i remember and know
all but your voice
