I wish

I wish I could forget
The feeling of your fingers running through my hair
Your soft, sweet voice telling me I'll be okay
The sounds you made when we we're huddled close together our bodies intertwined as one.
I wish you could remember
The nights we shared so long ago
The beauty I saw as you once let yourself unfold
The meaning behind your words when you told me forever, before forever was cut short.
I don't want to go back to those days,
I just want more of them.
Sometimes these thoughts just come in a flash,
You show up in the lightning in the back of my mind.
Other times I see a still image transposed over everything
I see you as a movie, played on repeat.
So many times that some scenes are worn out
and can no longer be seen.
I miss you in the darkness as I'm lying awake at night.
I stare up to the sky and trace the outline of your face.
Everything turns to darkness over time.
I miss your light.
I wish you could remember, what I cannot forget.
I wish I could forget, what you cannot remember.
I wish you could remember, I wish I could forget.
I wish I could forget. I wish I could forget.
