Remember

I hope, one day, you will think back
to these moments....
when we held each other
and laughed till we ached with joy
and tears tickled our cheeks.

You won't remember.. why,
but you will remember.. how
we were so happy.

I want you to remember
the way I smile at you,
like it's the first time,
every chance I get.
And the way I kiss you,
like it's the last time,
every chance you give.

I want you to remember
all the sweet words I say to you
but even more...
the way I say them.

I hope, one day, you will think back
to these moments....
as we sit together in silent comfort
watching each others lips wrap around..
our addiction.
admiring one another as we inhale...
our bad habit.

You won't remember how terrible it is,
but you will remember how good it feels.....
because it is time spent together.

I want you to remember
the way I touch your face
and the way you hold mine....
when we make love.
I want you to remember
how I whisper softly in your ear,
just to say, "hi".....
and the way it makes you smile.
I want you to remember the way I look at you,
with big eyes and a bottomless heart.....
always wondering if you know
how wonderful I think you are.
And though you don't love me back,
I want you to remember... how I love you,
like it's never going to hurt.
