Remember

I remember small cafes, 

warm white mugs and a sweet voice that says:

"Just for this once, will you please let me pay?"

kissing my hand as I quietly obey,

and grin thinking of the way

you love and care for me.


I remember roses and the lovely smell of rain,

I remember chocolate, the letters of your name, 

I remember crossing through the fog as we both sang:

"These foolish things remind me of you"


I remember winter, and I remember summer,

the colorful gardens, a distant band's drummer

playing only for us, as we danced on the grass,

feeling our spirits flutter.


I remember your eyes and I remember your smile,

I remember your phone's background and your gorgeous style,

I remember the thoughts that went through my head

when you first kissed me, stealing my breath,

for yourself and nody else.


I remember laying down to count the clouds,

their shapes and sizes, our laughs and doubts, 

I remember all that I loved, 

And all that I wish I hadn't lost.
