#REMEMBER

I REMEMBER

I remember

you and I

in that tight space

you opening to me

sharing your innermost

thoughts

I remember

touching you

the rush of your breath

on my cheek

as you exhaled

the tightening of your fingers

on my shoulders

as you inhaled

I remember

your passion

your urgency

wanting

to remove

the woven boundaries

between us

I remember

the scent

of you

the feel of your chest

under my hand

the quickening beats

I remember

you holding me

your lips on mine

tasting

me falling deep

into you

I remember

how protected

you made me feel

how precious

like the most delicate

string of the rarest pearls

In the darkness

of this room

I lay alone

I reach for you

but all that is there

is a memory

I remember
