Since you are gone,
I have made a list of what I want
you to remember about me.
I want you to remember
my soft hands.
I want you to remember
my sweet kiss.
I want you to remember
my shy voice.
I want you to remember
my shiny hair.
I want you to remember
my sparkling eyes.
And most of all,
I want you to remember
when you said you would never leave me.
But you did.
