I WILL ALREADY REMEMBER YOU FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE

Standing on your balcony in winter I think

I will already remember you for the rest of my life.

it is too late now, I know who you are

and what you look like

and must henceforth venture through life recalling you many times

as you continue to make things burdensom by reminding yourself to me more and more

by taking me to various locations and describing to me your ....aspirations

some ancient moon smouldering above us.

I will always think of you and how it was between us

and the things you did and said

I will think about your ... personality and your… interests

and the specific colour of your hair and eyes

even if we have a terrific breakup and stop calling each other

I will still remember you

I will not be able to help it! You are there in my memory

like the concept of opera. Or the Simpsons theme song

Like a mist of blossoms on an air freshener commercial  

sarcastic with light

I will think of your temperament and your enthusiasms

and how you ...looked at me

I will think of all the things you told me about your life
