empty garden

i want  
to hold  
love,  
emotions,  
memories  
as close  
on paper  
as i  
could  
in life,  
 
i want  
to hold  
it again  
before  
it leaves  
me, while  
i can  
still  
have it,  
 
i want  
it saved  
in little  
scrapbooks,  
volumes  
of them  
if i  
were  
so lucky,  
 
all titled,  
to be  
held,needed,  
loved,  
and later  
when nature  
leaves me  
with an  
empty  
garden,  
 
i want  
you to  
read  
to me  
and remind  
me of
it all  
over again.
