a poem.

At first it was a glance, a word, a sentence
A paragraph
Now you’ve become a poem

I waved away words with a shake of my head
Occupied my time, my tongue and my pen
Slept away your memory, dreamt away your smile
If I could escape this obsession
For just a little while

One by one the things I felt, saw, tasted and touched
Became a part of my love for you
My story of you
Reincarnated from that of someone I loved a thousand times
Before
Before I leapt into the dark abyss of emotion
And swam across the river of uncertainty
With hope that you would love me again
As you had so many times before

I scribbled my name on the inside of
Your palm
Remember me now
And always

But if by chance our ability
To recall our passion with just a look fails us
You’ve got a word, a sentence, a paragraph
Now you’ve become a poem
So read
