i hope you're doing well;
a friend said you were.
i'm forgetting
the precise shade of your
deep dark eyes;
it hurts to forget.
my forgetfulness
causes tears to well up within me;
and what i still remember
makes them burst out,
flowing, pulsing, running
down my cheeks.
i still remember the feeling
of looking into
your heart-wrenching eyes.
and though you're gone,
i feel it still;
it carries my mind
so far adrift that
it paralyzes my body.
but i wonder how you are.
