           I don't know where
         or who you are anymore.
             I've lost memory
              of your face,
               your touch,
               your voice.

        We ignited a short lived love
                (my first)
          that graced my heart
               too quickly.

            Photographs of us 
        lay, strew along my carpet.
     Faces stuck in a stilled emotion;
         an emotionless feeling.

         I miss the way we felt,
             for eachother.
       As I yearn for your presence,
                I wonder...
        Did you love me unjustly?
       The way my love needed you?

               I remember...
I would relax in the silence of your smile.
   And with the broken memories fading
       I shall cling to this one.

         To quit blaming myself
      for our end and your absence.
           And to thank you 
          for showing me love.

     The thoughts of your dark hair
        and deep eyes may fade.
     (Along with my love for you)
      But our existence together
     will allways stay in my heart.
