have you ever forgotten?
they way his skin touched
the way his eyes laughed
smile reddened
butterflies rose
and lips licked.
have you ever forgotten?
when you stared stars
longer
than you ever imagined
because he was right beside you
hugging you tightly
until your stomach ached,
heart warmed.
have you ever forgotten,
when you felt
you should have known him earlier
you should have kissed him deeper
tainted his hands longer
before all your skies fell below your tears
before all you could do is attending the funeral.
