Smell of your cologne
The dimples of your smile

I go to places that remind me of you
To try to be close to you

The memories of you I have
I can count on one hand

Learning to ride a bike
You knew when to let go

That amusement park
Where I got my adrenaline spark

Exploring that haunted house
The one that burnt down

I can’t think of you all the time
It takes all the air out of my lungs
And I forget how to breathe

There are days
I wear you with me
I hope you see

I have your voice on tape
A broken down recording
When it plays
Immediate waterfalls

Remember that game we used to play?
How much do I love you when you’re difficult? You asked
I held my hands out with the tiniest space in between…

I smiled as you said
No,
I love you this much always
Arms outstretched
