the line between you & me

realization

My body may have forgotten your touch,
My ears may have forgotten your voice,
And my lips may have forgotten your kiss,
Though it is is a comfort because it has been a year,
My mind has not forgotten.

For my mind longs for you just as my heart does,
And it lets me visit you in dreams.
It lets me kiss you, hold you, love you.
As freely as I once did with my consciousness.
Sleep is the only way I can see you.

Last night you were wearing the grey tank top.
The one that was too big for you,
Since you lost all the weight.
You were wearing that black pair of shorts.
And your hair was tousled despite it being cut now.

I heard your voice say my name.
I heard your laugh echo through the room.
I heard you talk about your passions.

I felt your body as you opened to let me lay on you.
And I felt that tank top, it had a Jersey feel.
I felt you kiss me the same way you did before.
And I felt how much you loved me.

I woke up, and I could barely remember.
But when I did, my heart ached.
You were not beside me, laughing and smiling.
You were just a memory.
Which burns my soul more than anything.
