I Wonder.
True love, ineffable, eludes description,
Only within its embrace do its depths unfold.
In the park, a scene of ethereal enchantment,
Midst the brumal zephyrs of early spring,
You, shivering for dear warmth,
Narcolepsy casting you under its trance.
Do you remember?
Nodding in and out of the moment,
Until our eyes intertwined,
Igniting a flame latent, dormant, reassuring.
Do you remember?
Your gaze, a cascade of chocolate,
Glinting in the moon's tender light,
Rain pittering, a symphony above,
The prelude to our magnum opus.
Your smile, radiant, surreal.
It entrapped me in your world.
The scent of fresh lavender,
The saccharine of honey.
You, my life raft in turbulent waters,
The guide through life's labyrinthine trials.
We began as spectators,
Unaware our destinies would entwine,
Unaware our hearts would beat in unison.
And yet, in the end,
We cared not for the stains of infidelity
Upon our blossoming roses and violets.
Do you remember?
When I draped my jacket over your shoulders,
A coronation of our love.
The night, our playground,
Youthful and naïve,
Believing it would never end.
But mere months later,
Your petals scattered like doves,
Your stem withered into ash,
Leaving behind a specter of the girl I once knew.
May you remember me
As I remember you,
Your legacy etched in my soul.
