To Be Loved By a Writer

I may never use your name

But I use the memories

You gave me

My love

You can never be forgotten

I use the words we said

And the language we spoke

I use the lessons you taught me

And the hard ones

I taught myself from losing you

To be loved by a writer

Is understanding your now

The inspiration

Behind every word they write

And poems they keep to themselves

To every thought

Feeling and emotion

They try to capture on paper

It’s understanding

That they’re up late at night

Filling page

After page

With you

About you

With who you are to them

Being someone to

Someone who refuses

To forget anything and everything

That’s ever happened

Or been said to them

Is one of the greatest gift you could

Ever be given

Because it’s the knowledge

That you’ve been immortalized

By they’re ideas

They’re spirit

They’re words

That you’ve been remembered,

So special you were handpicked

And written down

That you were chosen

And therefore, now

Never forgotten.
