Just Remember

For Edward

I remember your eyes:
filled with the pain of your story,
the acceptance of mine,
and the moon-
mirrored in your pupils.

We sat under a starry sky
on that chilly night,
overlooking the city
while we bared our souls
and we had been enough.

That intoxicating night
bound us like sand and glue-
twisting my heart
into the shape of a
painful bloom.

That,
I remember.

I'll always remember.

Because,
though you are gone-
now only wisps of memory
and the warmth in my smile-
you are still there with me:

Each and every night,
in view of the city,
under each star in the sky,
and in the chill of night,
when I tell the moon

to remember.

Just remember.

A beautiful touching read, Gaia. The font lent to the fragility of your words and presentation. You should know and believe that your loved ones are always with you.
