there are some things of his i can never forget
like how soft his lips were, and the way they spoke my name in the sweetest's of ways
how silky his hair was, and how it never failed to smell like mangos and coconuts
he used to be a track star, and had the strongest legs of anyone i knew
and his hands were a bit rough from lifting weights all his life
these things didn't fade over time like i thought they would, despite the fact that he did.
sometimes i dont know if its a blessing or a curse that i still see the old him in his new ways
