I Don't Remember...

I don't remember, any more,

The exact shape of your hands

As I held them in mine,

Caressed them,

Memorized the length of your fingers,

The depth of your calluses.

 

I don't remember, any more,

Exactly your height, how much

Taller than me

You were, where

My head rested on your chest

When you held me tightly close.

 

I don't remember, any more,

Your scent, when we lay together

Creating our own

Magic rhythm,

Matching our heartbeats as we

Touched the sky, together.

 

I don't remember, any more,

The sound of your voice, calling

My name as though

It were a song

Within itself, a precious treasure

You valued with all your being.

 

And I don't remember, any more,

The color of your eyes, the shape

Of your lips,

Only...

How your eyes crinkled at the corners

And your laugh, as you told me,

 

"I love you."
