I Remember...

By: Christine McFarlane

I remember

When I first laid my eyes

Upon you

Something told me

You would be the one

The one

I would want to spend my time

 With

The one

Who would grab my attention

Like no one else had before

I remember

Your laughter

And how it could

Make everyone else laugh

Around you

Your smile

Melted my heart

And made me feel warm inside

I remember

The first time

We spent the day together

And

I didn’t want to go home

You told me

I could stay over

You weren’t shy

You came right out

And said

“I want to fool around

With you”

I remember

The first time we lay down

Beside each other

In your bed

And your hands caressed me

I wanted to scream

From the desire you conjured up

Within me

I remember

Our first kiss

And how it made me melt inside

And made me want more

I never tired

Of your company

I wanted to be with you always

You made me see a part of me

That no one else had before

I remember

The last time I saw you

You invited me over for dinner

And I couldn’t refuse

If it meant

Spending more time with you

I didn’t know

That it would be the last time

I saw you alive

Or that I would never again be able

To reach out

And feel

Your arms around me

Or have one more kiss

Planted on my lips

You left this world

And when you did

You took a part of me

With you

I miss you

More than you will ever know
