Memory Pocket

All these years
and you still remember
I find it incredible
unthinkable
the unmentionable
still lingers on your tongue
with a light smile and
bright eyes
the deeper meaning
still clear
still there

After all these years
and you still remember
although life has
changed us
molded and manipulated us
between all your relationships
and new love
within your new life
you left a space in your heart
for me
a pocket in your mind
to fold in our memory

Adorable
loving
after all these years
we can pick up
right where we
left off
never missing a beat
as we
reseal this phenomenal
connection
and turn past memory
into present reality

I Remember

I remember,
even when I don't want to
trying to move on
forget
erase it all
cause I'm grown now

Time moves forward and
thoughts of the past are
wasted current energy
randomly scattered on fixed events
stagnant and permanent
that can't be removed
or fixed

But yet, I still remember
dwell on it just a bit
fruitful, innocent love
pressed flat against corridor walls
under basement steps
behind open doors
molded into you
pressed onto me
learning desire and discovering
intimacy's natural reaction
both new, both scared
both surprised by such intense experiments

Yeah, I still remember
