One Memory

One Drop
It falls
As my knees hit the ground
The rush of pain
of memory
A struggle to stand through a silent cry
A silent cry
Five thoughts come to my head
Four memories of Joy
Three memories of Love
Two memories of Laughter
One Memory

Two Drops
They fall
A familiar scent
20 seconds lasting 12 hours
A burst of memory
Tears falling
But not tears from that silent cry
Tears
Tears from someone once thought to be gone.
One Memory
One Memory that will always come back
