Remember this Remember how her fingers shake when she’s trying to cry quietly And how she never called you by your first name Only in bits and pieces, or pet names that made your stomach twist into different shapes Remember how she kisses you Soft tongue, sharp teeth, warm mouth, lips so careful against your own How she whispered secrets into your throat And though you never heard them, you still tried to cling to each syllable Remember her the best you can The freckles splattered across the bridge of her nose, the seafoam color of her irises Remember her Her body and her words that rolled off her tongue And the feeling of her skin sticking to your own Do not forget her Or the way she held you so tightly your broken bits slid back into place She may not be yours (Not now, not anymore, not like she used to be) But these memories, this version of her, always will be.
Daily reminder (sorryangels)
