i remember that night
when the shadows
cast beautiful patterns
on your troubled face

i remember that moment
when the storm in your
soul suddenly went quiet
to the sound of my words

i remember that day
when we stole kisses,
the rocky terrain mirroring
our unsteady lives

i remember when your
silence broke my heart,
and my words sliced
yours

i remember the first time
i touched your face,
the first time i traced my eyes
along the invisible lines of your soul

i remember you not loving me,
then loving me,
then not loving me,
then not caring
