MEMORIES
Your hands would tremble as you loved me
You’re scared to have a heart to hurt me
Even though they were calloused,
They’re so soft that my cheeks were tingling
Every time you touch me
You had eyes, hazel in color,
I was jealous,
Fearing they’d fall on someone else,
Fearing others might see their reflection
In your mirrors.
I could see myself in your depth
You’re so lucent to me that
You never hesitated to look at me
With all your love.
I could see your heart in your pupils
I’d sulk if you ever turned your gaze away

But I wasn’t afraid of being lost,
As long as you were there.
What I feared most,
Was never hear your laughter again.
What would I do if I could no longer see,
The joy of your lips once carried
Even if they disappear when you smile
The abyss that your eyes fit the whole universe in
Even if your hands no longer reached me,
They radiated tenderness that warmed my soul.
Now your hands are far away,
They’ll not love me again, maybe
Will not wrap my waist tightly
Will not hold my hands warmly
But I’ll never banish from my memory
Even if you never remember
I’ll never end the love in my heart
Even if it wasn’t meant to be
