Do you remember the song we sang,
Many moons ago?
It was a sweet song, a young song, a song
Gifted by the galaxies and stars
And suns.
A song we both knew, a song we kept with us,
A song that was carved into the universe,
And our hearts.
It was a sweet melody
That waited for me at every turn,
It nestled itself in my dreams,
Its lyrics would imprint images into my eyes
When I shut them.
I could not imagine a song more true.
Well, I think I’ve forgotten it.
I think I’ve forgotten its melody, the way
The words move, the places it slowed,
The places you used to laugh when you sang them.
Which part was mine, and which part was yours.
I’ve lost it all.
No matter how hard I search, how desperately
I claw at my memories for a secret to how it sounded -
I’m met with silence.
Faint glimmers, vague whispers, at best,
But the glitter I remember being so blinding
Has disappeared.
