I Remember You

I Remember You

I remember you,

Your blue eyes like melting ice,

Your smile, slants of light,

In the darkest depths, you showed me paradise.

I remember you,

My pen became your name,

So don’t look at me like that,

Or I’ll never be the same.

I remember you,

Made every dream I built up

Burned by chance, and fell to ash,

To reveal stronger holds of tenderness.

I remember you,

My mind could never turn away,

From lights and smiles and darkness that played,

I’ll start this again, once you say.

I remember you,

Your eyes like melting ice,

When I was wrong, when I was right,

I remember you, always standing by my side.
