I Remember

I remember
      kayaking Idaho's Snake River,
           deep in the heart
           of summer -
      that summer
when we thought
      our love
           could move the tides
           make the sun rise
      make every star
fall...

  But soon all I had
           were memories.
             You said I scared you.
          You said I needed "help".
       Maybe so,
             but I remember,
    dearest girl,
     our walks that went on and on,
     our afternoons in the library,
       the hikes to our secret spot
                  in the mountains,
getting lost in the snow...
                    I can't let go.
