Remember When

entry picture

I want to remember you like this.

I want to remember us like this.

In the years ahead when you’ll be across the room

And I’ll barely rise from the bed,

I want to remember what it felt like

When we were giddy in love.

I want to remember the feeling of our hearts

With every chance we’d get

To smile and get lost in a lingering kiss.

 

I want to remember when our knees went weak

From your hands upon my face,

Our tender lips meeting

As if it were the first time.

 

And I want you to remind me,

Over and over again.

Thanks Tom, Graham, David, and Uilleam for the lovely comments. I hadn't realized the sadness in it but it's there in the reality of partners that grow old together. Maybe they’re afraid of drifting apart for various reasons, maybe it’ll be Alzheimer's or maybe they’re simply afraid of falling out of love.

There is a beauty in this poem...there is also a deep sadness at the presumed inevitability of the loss of innocence.

If only we could cling to our feelings...they are like dreams that evaporate in the moment of waking.
