Remember

I remember your hands, your stupid red tie and coconut biscuits.

I remember your hair, the small of leather and tobacco smoke.

I remember your gifts, the smile I gave and your secret wink.

I remember, I remember and I remember.

I remember you wrote me a card with a sickly sweet message. I remember I wrote one back filled with all the other things I remember.

I never sent it. It got lost in the abyss. Written tears you'll never read. And you don't know I wrote it in my blood.
