I still remember your hands
I remember how warm they were
Your long flat fingers
The scars that dotted your tan skin
From all the days spent working in the rain
You hated them
But I loved them.

I remember your eyes
A burning brown
Eyes that glossed over with rainbow oil spills
In the sunlight that reflected off your whole being
You hated them
But I loved them.

I remember your hair
I remember twisting my fingers through it
Thick and dark
Silky straight
You hated it
But I loved it.

I remember your lips
I remember them pressing against my back
Soft and full
Dark and smooth
You hated them
But I loved them.

I remember your voice
I remember many nights where it cooed me to sleep
Deep and comforting
The most familiar thing I knew
You hated it
But I loved it.

I remember your body
I remember being held and feeling safer than I ever had before
Tall and sturdy
Like a tree
You hated it
But I loved it.

I remember your words
"I don't love you anymore"
You hated having to spit them off your tongue
And I hated having to force them through my ears.
You hated me
And I still loved you.
