remember how
you danced and twirled and
never failed to make me smile
remember when
you with your smooth fingers and
scented skin traced my back
remember where
you said flowers go when they die and
i laughed and you frowned a bit and
i sobered enough to see the crinkle in
your forehead
but
laughed some more just to see
your lips curl
remember what
you whispered into my mouth and
i drank, thirsty like a fool
i was drunk intoxicated delirious
i was hopelessly insatiated
i was everything i said i would never be
and you chuckled knowingly into my lungs
and god did it feel good
