I Remember Love Again

I remember love it doesn't seem so long ago that it greeted me and went unrecognized at first. It took me in its confidence and touched my very soul with unfamiliar needs and wants that tingled every fiber of my being. I remember love it took my very breath away and pounded the heart beat in my breast with just a look, a simple touch. It sapped me of all my strength stealing away all but its presence that breached the gap of self and other burning hot with unquenchable desires. I remember love how its feelings and emotions rose in palpable touches and caresses satiated only by the one. It remains a questioned wonder as to how and why it fades over time gets lost and pushed aside by the daily grind and gives in to lesser needs. I remember love as if it were yesterday when two hearts held each other unconditionally bound as one. It is the emptiness that follows I dislike the heartache, tears and loneliness that comes from its loss in forgetting the moments that gave it birth.
