...but we will remember

I wondered if you'd forgotten
how I looked stretched out across
dark smooth sheets like my nakedness
when I had put you at a loss
for any words except those whispered
to say that I was easy on the eyes
did you remember how I glided in
sliding close to rest my thighs
against your hips, as our lips met
in brief strokes of warm, wet air
do you remember how I felt to you
with only the hall light glimpsing there?

Or were you thinking that I'd forgotten?
As your fingertips glazed over behind me
you whispered "you are so beautiful"
as if you were trying to remind me
how we were together, how we were apart,
but there hadn't been a day gone past
that I didn't remember within my heart
the love that came and went too fast.

And looking in your eyes
I felt a sadness come just then
knowing that life is pulling me
and we'll be apart again

...but we will remember.
