I remember

Do you remember
when you broke into my world
prowled your way
on soft silent paws
into my heart?

I do

Do you remember that moment
(as I dreamed of you) when I said,
“I love you, ____! I love you!”

I do

Do you remember the time you first
revealed your heart to me
in full honesty?

I do

Do you remember our first touch?
When our eyes locked that very first time?
Do you remember waiting on a bench watching as I rode the escalator up to you?
Do you remember when you entered me?
& how it felt when you first carried me to heaven?

I do

Do you remember how it felt
to hold my hand?
Does my voice at times still echo in your memory?

I still remember your tones of affection
when you spoke to me.
I still remember how safe and comforting
to rest my hand in yours.
I still remember how it felt
to lay my cheek against your chest.

Do you remember how it felt
to be in each other’s arms,
to be seen and heard and loved?

I do

Yours is a love
That’s unforgettable,
a love that is
Irreplaceable.
Yours is a love
I’ll always desire.

I DO love you.
I remember.
