I will write you letters, even though you’re miles away
And your presence never lingers around my hand anymore.
I will not let go of the memory you once gave me,
Of the softest kiss of summer under spring’s embrace.
I will whisper to you a thousand miles with one word.
They say even in space you still hear the soft voices
Of your forgotten promises, the stars illuminating
The secrets you have hidden under your mattress—
Your secrets, which crawl into your dreams and penetrate mine
Because I never stop dreaming about you.
Your face is the most vivid shade of beautiful
And the most beautiful shade of vivid,
Your touch is like a flower that lingers in my hair,
Your smile wrapping around my neck like the pendant you gave me.
I have kept that pendant for years and I stare at it everyday,
Because I want to memorise your face,
Because you deserve a better place
Than the farthest edges of my memory.
I will not forget you. Even though your face is now a muddy blur,
I can still trace the edges of your features with my fingers,
Draw your secrets on a piece of paper
Like the kindergarten scrawl I keep alongside your pictures.
I am stuck inside this frozen frame with you,
Unable to age because we have vowed our forevers together.
I still hear the church bells singing in the distance,
The white of my dress against the black of your suit;
My world is now devoid of colour.
The start of spring as bleak as the end of winter.
The coldness grips my heart and I blindly stumble my way
Through this forest of desolation, braving torrents
Of memories and shared embraces.
I miss you. Terribly. And baby, I love you.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US!
