Anastasija Gjoreska Poet Free verse

Memories

I feel you near even when you're not here,
even when your face no longer lingers in my head,
when the wind no longer carries your scent,
and my body starts forgetting the feel
of your featherlight touch.

I feel your presence every single minute,
even your soft voice whispering in my ear.

I remember your smile,
the one that used to melt my heart,
and even your words that cut deep
and left a scar.

Yet I also remember the way
you used to gaze into my eyes,
as if I meant the world to you.

I remember how those glances
always made me fall in love with you,
and how, every single day,
I kept losing a little piece of you.

Alison A Smith September 9, 2026 at 2:29 AM A tender, emotionally resonant free-verse poem that captures how love can remain vivid even as sensory memories begin to fade. The repeated “I remember” gives the piece a quiet, accumulating ache, while the contrast between warmth, hurt, and gradual loss makes its closing especially poignant.
