I once had exclusive access to you, before you wanted things your way. I would talk, you would listen breathlessly. You would talk, I'd stop everything just to hear you share your thoughts. I created things and I let you name them all. I gave you everything and you wanted for nothing. I walked with you daily. Beside the running streams we would spend pleasant afternoons watching the waters run by endlessly. I would pass my fingers through your hair as you lay down. I'd touch your face and you'd awake with a pure smile, innocent as a dove. Remember the doves? You picked that name for them and another name they'll never know. Not one day have I forgotten. Our time together I'll treasure forever. I'll never forget a single smile, a single sunrise, a single word, a single moment. I'll treasure my time with you beyond the folding of ages.

We had it all together. I had you and you had me, and the trust between us was the most pristine serenity. I told you that I loved you. I showed you that I loved you. I gave everything, because I love you, but you wanted more than I could give. You wanted to see beyond the trees that marked the outer edge of our peaceful garden. You wanted to go where the light did not reach. You wanted to taste the fruit that spoils. You wanted to feel the soil that dries out quickly. You wanted to hear the voice of liars. You wanted to know the sensation of falling down. So one day I lead you out beyond the sweeping cedars at the gardens edge. Unable to deny your choice and keep your love, I let you go with a heaviness in my heart that towers above the mountains I look down upon as I look over you. When you left I vowed to never walk the garden again. I placed an unbreakable seal on the entrance, least anything defile the memories I hold as sacred.

Do you remember our pristine garden? Do you remember our endless days? Do you remember our timeless walks? Do you remember our breathless talks? Do you remember our time together? Do you remember me like I remember you? I haven't forgotten. Not a moment has escaped my mind. I gave you all the goodness you've ever known, but you had to test the troubled waters.

I am still in love with you. I am still reaching out to you. Do you remember when I gave you roses by the acre? I remembered that as I bore my crown of thorns. Do you remember when I gave you a partner of your own kind? I remembered that when I was abandoned by everyone that I loved. Do you remember when I called you my friend? I remembered that when I was kissed by my betrayer. Do you remember when we watched the waters flow by the stream? I remembered that when my blood poured out in rivers. Do you remember when you told me that you'd never hurt me? I remembered that when I hung from the nails. Do you remember when you asked me how much that I loved you? I remembered that when I spread my arms and died for you.

I once had exclusive access to you, and I've given everything to have you back. The garden I once made is now overgrown with pain and sorrow, so I made you a heaven. Come back to me and I'll never let you go again. I've waited so long and I've stayed true to you. Everything I have is yours. Everything I am is love.
