I Think of You

I walk through the annals
In the caves of my mind,
As a breeze
	flicks a tuft of my hair.
It smells of the memories
I've gone there to find,
Those I tenderly
	stored away there.

I wander the halls 
Where those memories were left,
And the breeze
	whispers into my ear.
It beckons me deeper
'Mid cavern and cleft
Where it dances
	the echoes I hear.

I search through the chambers
'Mid cobwebs and dust,
As my longing
	incites me to do.
And I peer 'neath the layers
Of loving and lust,
Then I smile
	for there, I find you.

I flip through the pages
Where months became years,
And relish
	the days I replay.
Then tenderly re-file
The laughter and tears
For the next time
	that I pass this way.
