I remember more than

I should, and less

than I want to…

The mesmerizing green

of the eyes that

held me

Spellbound…

The smile

that my heart

tripped over, curving

the mouth that

took my breath away…

The way I trembled

when you stood

so close behind me

that my heart

thundered desperately

in my chest…

Anticipating the storm

you so easily

created

inside me…

I remember the fire

the magic of

the hidden pathways

you discovered,

but I grieve the loss

the fractured

memories that I can’t

recall  of what

being loved

felt like.
