The Patience of Memory
Do you remember
When you couldn’t
get enough of them
when the sound
of their voice
sent you into frenzy
Do you remember
when a glancing
brush could cripple you
How the scent
came from across the room
and lingered all day long
Do you remember
when it stopped
being special
when the resentment
first began
and you saw this person
For the first time
Do you remember
those angry words
spilled the way passion used to
That those bruises
would heal but that a
damaged heart may never
Do you remember
the forgiveness and
the patience that made
these many decades
not just possible
but exponential
You cannot remember
what comes next
that just isn’t how time works
But if you dig really deep
And recall those heady
days of lust and love
And you remember the
promises in the fine print
about the good times
and the bad
You may just discover
That you have not
yet begun to live
to lust
to love
❤️
words are our only real power
