I saw you on the other side of
the room sitting alone.

You saw me noticing you.

A polite smile and wave later,
we were connected.

With that meeting,
two different lives were lived.

I was your love,
your heart,
your first kiss,
your light in the storm.

I gave you a new name.

I was yours, but not for forever.

You were my reminder of what love could be,
the one who saw beauty in me,
my first kiss.

A summer romance--
young, powerful, and bound by time.

In the fall,
we started to fade.
I lost you and I didn't know if I
deserved to have you back.

Winter came.
No trace of you was found.
You were gone.

It was too late.

***

You only exist in my memories,
the one place where you are safe.
The only place where you can have
any future with me.

I hope to remember your voice one day.

My Uri.
