Don't forget those days.
I held your hand and swung it up and down, back and forth like the two limbs had connected.
We laughed to combine our sounds. High and low. A perfect blend.
The sight of you in the kitchen always made me smile. Cooking, cleaning or just standing there- I liked it all.
Each kiss was a blessing of fire to burn my lips.
Those movie nights when I laughed and said, "if there's one thing I can't stand, it's cold feet."
So I tucked them to your warmth, basking in the source I had found.
Don't forget those nights.
When we held each other and I felt whole for the first time in a while.
As my demons slipped away to hiss at other shadows.
The safety of your arms drained any darkness from my soul.
Don't forget those smiles
When you first said you loved me.
The way you never knew how to dance and never learned anyway.
How you always seemed to know what to say to make me understand.
Don't forget those tears.
In a thin white dress that I had worn just for you. Heels to match.
You know how much I hate heels.
A veil to cover my eyes.
Flowers that made my nose already itch.
And that note.
That note from you.
Don't forget those words.
Those words that you wrote on that paper that one, obliterating day,
"I'm sorry I did the one thing you can't stand."
