Remember the days of blue skies and sweltering heat
when your love clung to me like the humid air
when your arms found their way around me
when your head rested upon me
when my love surrounded you in unspoken words
when you were everything to me
when I was so new and precious to you?
Remember the nights in dark places
when your hands and mine found each other
when we relaxed in small spaces
when your eyes stole into mine
when our presence was real
when all else was unreal
when our deep possession burned and pressed,
aching to escape?
Remember me?
If all the world surrenders
If all the world will die
If all inside me crumbles
If my body and mind disguise me
If my flesh grows old and thin
If my fears render my thoughts riddled and incontinent
Remember me:
I’m right here
I haven’t changed
I always love you
I always know you
I always remember you
I’ll always wait for you.
