All the memories I have of you now-
Will eventually fade away.

I can feel them leaving my brain-
Little gaps have formed a bridge
between my dreams and waking life

It terrifies me that soon,
I won't remember what
your hands felt like
running down my spine

Or the way you held my hands
and pinned me down
Ribs touching, lungs
collapsing and expanding in unison

I want to remember
So I'll write you down in ink
and never forget the way
you made me feel

Your lips may have well been
sewn to mine
Interlocking for hours upon
hours
Long in to the night

The way your teeth would gnaw
at my neck
or how you'd turn me over-
and kiss me up and down
the lines of my back,
gently biting those little
places I disclosed of-
Slowly driving me insane

And I don't want to forget you

The way your eyes peered into mine
I could never quite tell what
was on your mind

No matter how many times I asked-
Why you looked at me that way

You responded with a kiss
and not an answer

And I guess that was
the answer to my long
winded question

You wanted nothing more
than the closeness
of our bodies colliding
and our hips guiding
one another on a beautiful journey

And your car was like a spaceship
We'd travel to uncharted planets
where time never mattered
nor did it exist

I want to remember all of this

A few years from now
I'll eventually forget
And I know you're not coming back

So slowly, I'm trying to accept that
But my heart and mind,
can't close the doors
on those wondrous times

I could go on and on and on....
As you can see, I shouldn't
prolong

My pen won't stop moving
Eventually-
All good and bad things
come to an end

And all we're left with
is a bitter taste
And no amount of mouthwash
Could erase the impression
left on my lips

I simply don't want to forget you...
And there is nothing I can do-
But keep you in my memory
