I Remember

Touch me
reanimate me
bring back
the memory of you

I hardly 
ever remember you
the pain
of you

floating in
some remote
current of
my blood

I carry
the pain
of you
passing over

like a sea
that refuses
to give up
it's dead

I often grope
around me
trying on
your embrace

but I feel
no love
where you
once touched

I wish for
your hands
stroking my
physical aches

I search 
for your
soul less sun
in restless sky

I remember
your face
like a flower
newly opened

resurrect me again
bring back
the night
of that day

when moments
were centuries
now an abyss
since you died

For years and years ,I could conjour the feelings I had with my first love, still alive. But for a true love to have passed is the ulitmate loss.
