Yesterday I remembered you, With your soft, fair skin And small delicate hands, And your eyes. I remembered as though It were yesterday, Though it seems so long ago. I remembered sitting with you, Side by side, And staring deep into your eyes Until I lost myself in them, And suddenly I was not there. I was drifting through space Among the stars And wondered which two were stolen Sixteen years ago, To put there in your eyes. As I soared through the Universe I looked around in wonderment And saw that you were with me, There by my side, And together we traversed the cosmos. We wandered throughout the Heavens Hand in hand Viewing celestial images That it seemed only our eyes could see, And I knew what happiness was. But then the sun rose, And banished the night. Together we fell With limbs entwined In a loving embrace Of absolute desperation. But then you let go. Or did I? Or did we. . . And sop now I'm falling Reaching, clawing, grasping For you, but you are not there. I am alone, And alone I am falling. The terrible feeling of dread Washes over me, And I wait for it all to end. But suddenly, I think of you And realize that even though We’ve let go of one another, We remain together in my heart. And I loved you. And I love you. I thought all of these things As I fell again, But was caught. Caught by love, And the memories, And that look in your eyes. Yesterday when I remembered you.
