I remember you in vibrant
twelve year old eyes, hidden
behind a curtain of silk, never
quite long or straight
enough. Giggling, singing,
enough. Giggling, singing,
mad at the world. Call me
maybe? Leave.Me.Alone.
I remember you
in soulful eyes, dark and fervent,
connecting the dots
with a humorous twist. Studious
yet playful, I believe I can fly.
I remember you in determined
eyes, brilliant and focused, mature
beyond your days.
beyond your days.
I could have done better. I will
do better. Oh the places I’ll go.
Watch and see.
I remember you
in conflicted eyes,
knowing, harried,
knowing, harried,
busy kids, busy work.
Here there everywhere.
Here there everywhere.
How will I get through the day?
I remember you through
future eyes, steadfast,
amusing,
amusing,
occasionally forgetful.
My most devoted
fan. How did it get so late so soon?
My most devoted
fan. How did it get so late so soon?
Sometimes I can’t remember you at all.
