A Poem – Week Ten

 

The following is an untitled and undated poem about love lost.  I imagine this was written in the early 2000’s.

 

Even after years have passed

And the details of your face

Are faded like the pages

Of the diary where I

Blissfully recorded memories

And moments filled with you.

After those times I want to call you

But I can’t remember the number

Not that it wasn’t disconnected

When I tried to call before

And the emails are undelivered

And from home you’re long gone.

After I forget your slight imperfections

And your laughter doesn’t ring in my ears

And I can’t hear your voice anymore

When those sunrises we shared

Were three thousand moons ago

I’ll realize it’s really over.

Though time has passed

And memories have yellowed

I remember the love you gave

And how you shook my universe

And altered my world

I’ll always remember you.
