I REMEMBER…

IT WAS LIKE YESTERDAY
I REMEMBER IT CLEARLY
THE MOMENT YOU PRESENTED YOURSELF IN FRONT OF ME
KNOWING YOU WOULD BE IMPACTING MY LIFE IN A WAY THAT ONLY YOU COULD
IMAGINING WHAT WAS TO COME I COULD NEVER
AS YOU INTRODUCED YOURSELF
I STOOD CONTENT IN MY COMPOSED NATURE
COOL CALM AND COLLECTED
BUT ONLY FROM WHAT YOU COULD SEE
INTERNALLY I WAS A WRECK
SUBTLY STARING AT THIS MASTERPIECE
ENGAGING ME IN CONVERSATION
OPENING MY MOUTH EVERY SO OFTEN
TO RESPOND TO THE HARMONIOUS MELODY THAT IS YOUR VOICE
AS IF SOMEHOW REACTING TO THE MENTAL WAVES YOU WERE EMITTING
I FINALLY UTTER THE WORDS IT SEEMS YOU WERE WAITING TO HEAR
SO…WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO OUT WITH ME
THE FIRST DATE WAS SET
IT WAS ON ME TO DECIDE WHAT PLACE I COULD TAKE YOU
WORTHY OF SOMEONE OF YOUR PROMINENCE
WHAT WOULD WE DO WHERE WOULD WE GO?
I PICKED YOU UP THE NEXT DAY ONLY TO BE GREETED BY PERFECTION
THE TIME SPENT WAS SOMETHING THAT CAN’T BE PUT INTO WORDS
SPEECHLESS
THEN IT ZOOMED BY
THE TIME
DAYS TURNED INTO WEEKS AND WEEKS INTO MONTHS
NO LONGER GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER WE WERE ONE
INSEPARABLE
COMMITTED
IN LOVE
AND THEN WE WEREN’T
I STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED
HERE ONE DAY GONE THE NEXT
YOU VANISHED
NOT A TRACE REMAINING OF YOUR PRESENCE
ONLY THE PICTURES WE TOOK THAT I CHERISHED AND COULD NEVER LET GO
GLARING OVER EVERY DAY SINCE YOU’VE BEEN GONE
WONDERING WHAT IT WAS I’VE DONE
AND WHY THERE WAS NO GOODBYE
NOW IT’S BEEN YEARS AND I
STILL THINK OF YOU OFTEN
IT WAS LIKE YESTERDAY
I REMEMBER IT CLEARLY
THE MOMENT YOU PRESENTED YOURSELF IN FRONT OF ME
KNOWING YOU WOULD BE IMPACTING MY LIFE IN A WAY THAT ONLY YOU COULD
