~

Vague thoughts of you
leave a lingering taste
on my tongue

Thoughts of you
'there',
memories of you
'somewhere far away'

They merge
so delicately
and with such
a tenderness,
yet are still laced
with a sadness
that lingers on my tongue also

Unable now, to remember
the exact moments
I'm trying to forget

Someday
I'll recall them
but will I want to,
will I need to
when all I have here
is the 'now'
a place
where the past will never be.
