Trying To Remember

I'm trying to remember

everything that happened

that

not so distant day.

There were many things

I wish I could have done,

but can no longer do

to mend your broken heart.

Could I have been the puppeteer 

to move your body so elegantly,

so that you may have the ability

to keep holding on?

But I wish, I wish...

with all my heart...

that even though you're gone,

you remember me.

Me, this lonely heart

that you so connected to.

With our shattered hearts and broken bones,

I yearn for your embrace;

your gentle nature and kind heart.

I long for the day

the wind caresses our figures

and we lie in the meadow,

in each others arms...

waiting for them to take us home,

where we belong.

And then I shall remember

everything that happened

that

very distant day.
