Hey

Hey

Remember me?

Remember when I traced your smile in the stars

Even as the moon waned, your eyes grew wide with passion

And the poetry composed itself as I eased into your life

We saw the light

Remember the lake that buoyed our reckless flame

Free and young and feisty like your mane in the wild breeze

And it blazed on despite the waves rapping at our barricade

We were invincible

Remember the night that fervor alone silenced our shiver

When your lips were no longer blue from the oceans aching kiss

My ear pressed to your chest and your snore was my lullaby

I felt eternity

Remember when “I love you” breathlessly slipped out

Though skeptical, I tried to dwell on it for some poetic inspiration

But time gets hungrier when you want a moment to linger

I missed my chance

Remember the fog that crept into the void of our bond

It gathered and condensed as we neglected to clear it out

And with a thunderous surge, fate ripped me from your heart

You saw it coming

Remember, you saw it coming and you just stopped trying

Like everything else that poses a challenge in your flawless life

You dug a trench and covered it up with your excuses

You walked away

Hey...

Remember me?
