Poetry I'll Never Let Anyone Read

Reminisce

sometimes I let my mind wander
to that vault I keep locked tight
in the deep, dark depths of my memory;
the place where I keep you.

there's one moment, specifically,
that I can't help but replay over and over,
even though it pains me immensely.

i think back to the wind in your hair
the smile on your face—
that warm, soft smile;
there's nothing I love more.

your sweet, contagious laugh
still fills my ears and wraps around me
and if I close my eyes you're still here.

i catch myself tracing
the melody you were singing that night
as the panic raced through my mind
warning me that the end was near.

you promised me forever
but the tears stinging my eyes
begged to differ.

it was our last moment,
or rather, my last moment
because you live forever in my mind
and I'll never be a second thought to yours.
