Just in Case I Forgot to Tell You

“The mind forgets, but the heart always remembers”….Author Unknown

Waiting impatiently hoping that

each passing second meant you

were that much closer to me

Always thinking positively

Remembering that night and how I felt

Remembering what I saw.

You were firm but gentle….

I loved you

In a house where a lonely man resided

Torn sheets on a half made bed

and ice cycles shining

through the window

Empty beer bottles and reefer roaches

strewn about

But you loved me there

Covering my body with yours

Shielding and protecting me from the

Cold, your warmth drifted into me

As the Stylistics screamed “STOP,

LOOK, LISTEN”

I heard nothing but your heart beating

against mime, and the heavy sounds of

a lonely man sleeping in the next room

There we lay, me crying silently and you

content – I loved you!
