lovers and lamentations

i'm making declarations to the moon

do you remember when you
ran your fingers through my hair,
while i poured my whole life's sorrows
into your white shirt?
can you recount how my tears spilled,
staining your blue jeans?
i won't ever forget the way you kissed my fingertips and told me it would all be okay. how you held me for hours and hugged me tight. i loved you a lot back then. (sometimes i worry that i still do.)

another memory: we were listening to your favorite song and you were falling asleep on my shoulder, do you remember?  i remember how your soft grin stirred something in my heart, how the words you whispered in my ear have never left my head, you said:

what if we got everything we wanted?
just this once?

later on, when we were making declarations
to the moon, you told me you gave
your heart to the first girl who ever loved you.
you told me nothing lasts forever,
and now you've got nothing left to give.

i stroked your hair and said, well i would never ask you for anything, (and i almost meant it, too).
i whispered, but what if i think i love you?
and you closed your eyes and laughed,
shook your head quietly to yourself.
