memories...

you remain somewhere planted in my mind. carefully creeping into my thoughts during moments of inconvenience. chance instances when you should be buried deep within some tiny cell beneath forgotten memories. but instead you stay closer to the front of my mind than i'd ever be willing to admit. hoping that you rescue me from this stubborn attempt at being alone. secretly believing that you too have no control over how your mind revisits our days, and nights, together. wondering if those memories which creep into my thoughts more than i'd ever admit, is all we'll ever be...

recollection...

do you 

remember it 

the same way 

I do?

plentiful conversations

calming touches

deep kisses

yet 

it was 

beyond 

intimacy

we 

embodied

desire

while

subtly

easily

delicately

in 

love

or 

was 

that all 

in my imagination?

...

we let time go by 

hoping things will change

waiting for memories to fade

yet 

the longer we wait 

the more we allow pride to rule

the more we pretend 

the deeper 

our connection becomes...
