I Remember, by TR

[Tragic Rabbit]

I Remember

I remember swimming in summers

laughing

as the waves broke white

against sun-kissed sand

I remember your green eyes like gemstones

glistening

gazing at me with

dark, drowsy passion

I remember hot and humid nights

breathless

dripping, drenched in sweat

grappling in the dark

I remember brisk days in the park

handfast

love-struck, loving, careless of the eyes

we two, just holding hands like children

I remember winters wide and white

curled up

warmed up by the fires

that licked hot inside

I remember, oh yes

I remember you

but like a story

that happened long ago

dimly, darkly, do I remember

distant

faded photographs

images of love
