I cannot forget
The way you sat there
Watching, waiting
For me to understand

The way you leaned in
As if whispering a secret
Your deep, velvet voice
Humming in my ear

I cannot forget
The hope that tore through me
It wrenched open my chest
And blanketed my heart in warmth

The way you smiled
As though someone had told you
That all the love
In all the world
Was yours

I cannot forget
The way my blood ran cold
When you kissed me
When you took away

Every ounce of pain
Every moment of grief
Every second of unhappiness
And turned it into euphoria

I will never forget
Whether my old age takes over
Or if my mind escapes itself
Even if we lose each other
In the worst possible ways

I will never forget
The way we sit here
The way you lean in to me
The way you look at me
The way you kiss me

Your smell
Your laugh
Your smile

I will never forget this love
