The sweetest things-
A golden meadow,
A deep blue sky.
Green grass beneath my feet,
With you,
Your head upon my lap.

The fading details-
A greyer picture,
A blurred image.
Snarls of weeds around me,
Without you,
Your leaving me there.

All the things I tried to keep,
Every remembrance slipping from me.
My fingers curl around wisps of time,
And the words you spoke, truthful lies.

The shortest memories-
The hopes I hold to,
The dreams torn from me.
The reminders of you,
The longing to be free.

My shortest memories,
Holding you in their glance.
Memories.
