softly fading memories

☼

"You need to try to remember.”

These words left an awful feeling in my heart,

Because it was getting hard to remember my sunshine.

His vibrant face was fading,

His picture was a stranger to me.

I could barely remember the sweet sound of his voice.

The way it brought a small smile to my face.

It hurt to become forgetful.

It hurt even more

Now that he was gone.

. . .

"Yoongi-hyung," my recurring nightmare whispered softly,

"You still haven't spoken a word."

"You haven't asked me my name."

"Haven't asked me why."

"Why you're forgetting your sunshine."

"Do you know who I am?"

"Do you want to ask anything?"

"Do you have any questions for me?"

I screamed, pressing the palms of my hands to my ears.

I really needed my sunshine.

He could help me answer the questions I was too afraid to ask.
