Little Memories

I was never sure where

I would end up in my life.

Where I would rest my head one day, finally free from pain.

Until you.

Until that day.

Cool breeze. Blue hamock. Rope burn on my back. The sun in your eyes.

Everytying you did looked so cool.

Everything you did lit a fire in my body,

eloping down...

But you grabbed me that day.

You grabbed me by the waist in that hammock.

You brought me close, kissed my nose.

My cheeks.

My lips.

They were captured by yours. The ferocity of the kiss...

I had never felt that.

The fire built up within me.

You were so cool.

With your curly brown hair.

Your bright brown eyes- twinkling in the sun.

specks of gold shining into my soul.

Your hands felt like ice on my body-

leaving little bumps everywhere you touched.

But that's gone now. And just the memory remains.

How you held me that day, your long hair blowing in the wind.

Your bright smile when I moaned your name.

I feel it all over again, all the time.

I crave it.

I long for it.

I relive it every time I lay here

in the bluee hammock.

I think of you.

And feel it all over again.

It's the small things. The memories we have of people.

The love that will never go away.

You smiling- in my mind.

I think I'll love you for the rest of my life,

but for now, I have this small thing.

And that is enough for me.
