I remember you holding them
like it was yesterday.
Sweet, summer mornings
and cool, winter evenings
remind me of every time you took your lips
and kissed them as a sign of your adoration
for me. I remember you taking them
and guiding me to face one of my biggest fears.
Other people would have ran away,
but this was your way of reminding me
that things can't always be that way.
I remember
lying down with you,
and watching you gently lift them,
placing them upon your heart.
And to our surprise,
our heart beats were in sync --
a sign that our souls were one.
I remember your gentle touch,
your warm embrace.
Home is where the heart is,
and you were it.
Being with you made me believe
that dreams really can come true.
And when you were gone,
I was left with love as deep as the ocean,
with no one to give it to.
And a broken heart that bleeds red,
craving you.
Spaces between fingers,
filled with memories of you.
Reserved for my forever,
which I thought was you.
