I'm starting to forget His face
     His voice
            His skin
                   His touch
I try to rememebr
and yet He is slipping away

all I want is to call Him
to see Him
to grab hold of Him
to look into His eyes
to see how He has grown

but I can't
because He begged me not to

and I still love Him
so I respect His wishes
and disregard my needs

So I let His image
      His scent
             His love
slip away

until we meet again
one day
