Romantique' Requiem

I miss

I wish

Do you remember

Sneaking in my window

The coin fountain where you cradled my head

When we kissed beneath the water of the pool

When we kissed in the rain

I wish

I miss

Do you remember

Now I stare at these pictures of you

How the sun lit your hair from behind

How your eyes shone in the moonlight

When you curtsied in the garden

& we danced on the mountaintop

I miss

I wish

I still remember

The smell of your hair

The taste of your mouth

The heat of your skin

The flutter of your lids

The sound of your moans

I wish

I miss

I still remember

Now dirty sheets lie on empty beds

Your perfume no longer lingers in the air

You’re voice is no longer there

…calling my name

You’re with another

I miss

I wish

I’ll never forget…
