Do you remember me and how I felt against you? Do you remember the sound of my voice or the smell of hair? Do you remember how I looked when I last looked upon you? Do you remember the tears you shed the last time we saw each other?
I remember every sensation even though it has been many a year since we last set eyes upon each other. I cling to the memory of you even knowing that I shall never see you again. My love for you will never fade and neither will the agony of our separation.
Often time I question why I cling to you so hard but then I remember how amazing you were and then I break down into tears. The trees around me weep with me for my sorrow is great. I soon stop because it is such sadness to see the trees weep. They remind me of you too much when they weep.
The smell that is distinctly you, washes over me as the wind blows through the branches of the green tress and I expect you to walk out from behind one. I see your smile in every moon I see and with each sunset and sunrise. Their beauty pales to your shinning radiance.
My clothes cling to me, embracing me as you once did, so long again. I feel them hugging me and I long to hug you. You were always just out of reach and nothing I did ever convinced you of my love. You deemed my love doomed to fail from the start but with time, I find it grows instead of wane.
Tears are welling up like a spring gurgling up from its hidden place far beneath the earth. The waters sing to me and I choke back the tears harder as it is your voice I hear. The wind and the water combine to make a mockery of your melodious voice. It takes me back to a time when we were as close as you would let us be. You burdens were my burdens and I would have carried you in my arms as I carry you now in my heart.
But it was not meant to be. You pushed me away, though I did not want to admit it. I craved you with a hunger that I had never felt before and still you held me at bay. You curbed my longings with a distain that stung me to my very core. I didn't understand why you would but now I see.
My eyes are now open. I see everything with a clarity that only time and distance have afforded me. I see that I was a foolish youngling, quick to love, and quick to anger. I am no more the youngling I once was and still my heart longs for you.
Even through the distance of a hundred leagues or more, I remember.
