Why do I remember you
My mind is filled with every bit of you
Your eyes that sparkle even in the moon light
As I gaze into them as if you hold the entire universe and its existence

Why do I remember
Your lovely face that has probably broken a lot hearts in its wake
Why do I remember
Your smile that dazzles and rivals the sunshine as it rises from its slumber to light up the the whole world

Why do I remember
Your touch that ignites something in me
That has been dormant for years and years of sheer loneliness
Why do I remember your kiss
That sends me into a whirl
That somehow validates why I exist

Why do i remember
Your voice that soothes and calms me
That calls to me like a siren
And I am but a helpless mariner doomed to succumb to your every call

Why does my heart remember
All these things
Every memory, every feeling, every breath
Why do these memories of you invade my senses and permeates into my soul

Then I remember
You only exist between my dreams and memories
And when I awake, you'll just be someone I've dreamed of my whole life
But I wouldn't want to remember anything else

I wrote this between the hours of 12pm-1:30pm as I prepare lunch. I just couldn't take the word REMEMBER off my mind. It was like running in loop. So, I decided to make something out of my LWS. Kung may LSS, meron din Last word syndrome. Pauso Lang. 😎
