I’m afraid of forgetting

That feeling when we first met

How I could have kissed you for the rest of my life

Held your hand through to the end of days

Were we two people just dealing with the collective trauma?

Writing poems since before I knew what poetry meant. Maybe, that's why I never kept a single one. Not until my heart broke open did I start keeping my words.
