I Remember Your Eyes

Your Eyes

I remember your eyes when I begged you to make a decision for us, you and I...
and you couldn't or wouldn't.

I remember you considered making that decision
and then it hit you like a hammer
that maybe you shouldn't and didn't.

I remember your sigh and falling back on the bed covering your eyes in either frustration, confusion or simply looking for a safety net.

I remember only one time in our lives reaching out for you, or anyone, to keep me from falling and you were not there.

You hesitated for a fraction of a second.

You missed.  I fell.

It hurt.

I forgave you immediately just because I love you,
but I never forgave myself.

Would you catch me now?
