The Colors in Your Eyes
I remember the way the stars sparkled
as we drove up the trail.
I remember the clouds that rolled in
while we lay on the grass.
I remember everything about our night on the mountain,
but I can't remember the colors in your eyes.
I remember that you shook my mom's hand
when I first introduced you.
I remember that you teased my twin sister
like only one who belonged could.
I remember everything about those days now past,
but I can't remember the colors in your eyes.
I remember the sweet salt on my tongue
as we swam in the sea.
I remember the warmth of your body
when the cold water became too much.
I remember everything about that beach trip,
but I can't remember the colors in your eyes.
I remember your green v-neck
that made my heart swoon.
I remember your hand in mine
as we walked to nowhere.
I remember everything about what we used to be,
so why can't I remember the colors in your eyes?
