Twice
I have stopped
Too many times
I have thought
Instead of
Saying what
That matters
Saying what
That counts
And now
At this moment
When I suddenly
Feel
Your presence
In my heart
Like the whiff of your perfume
Like the taste of your tongue
Like the curve of your smile
I know
For sure that
I love you
---
Those rides
On the bike
While the evening
Let off its last breath
I remember them
Those wet kisses
In the green room
While time lost
Its temper
I remember them
Those long looks
In dim diners
While love lurked
In our eyes
I remember them
Those warm hugs
On the rock
While the wind
Whispered our names
I remember them
Those silly fights
Over little words
While the days
Crept off the calendar
I remember them too
But
That last goodbye
On the road
When the sun shone
On our golden tears
I remember the most

lovely. my thoughts went back to a long time ago, when perhaps i could have felt the same for someone. but today, when life has taken on a more mundane avatar, your words brought back the romance and the flushed pleasure of love. thank you.
Such a simple but powerful poem... took me back to the days of my first love.
Yes I remember them now.
Thanks!
