Triggers

the punch of the first note 
the sound of your name 
the sight of the number 
invokes an ocean of emotion

the tickle of a memory 
the hint of a smile tugging lips 
the ache of a heart 
what remains is just reminiscing

the last word 
the last laugh 
the last time 

marks passing bisection of our worlds
the hourglass grains sliding away
the slipping grasp on affection 
the tapering conversation
history repeats itself 

but the consecutive will never be the same
