he remembers
he remembers holding her hand
he remembers kissing her lips
that were so soft and so sweet
he remembers her laugh
that sounded like the tinkling of bells
he remembers her smile
the smile that was brighter than a thousand suns
he remembers her eyes like mirrors
that were so expressive
and the light that shone in them
whenever she looked his way
and he remembers
when that light went out
he remembers a time when
he had hoped that he could remember her forever
now, he just wishes that he could forget
