There are moments where I return to the old memories with you,
not to change anything but simply to sit beside you again,
to see you the way I remember, to feel your presence in the silence,
to hold you in the only place I still can.
In those thoughts you never feel far.
I close my eyes and you are there, as soft as a breath,
as warm as a touch I still crave.
And when I open my eyes
I let you go once more
because I know
this same tender memory
will rise again tomorrow
and I will meet you there
like I always do.
