Such As We

Recount my name for anyone who might remember me.

My pleasures gathered from afar, though not all agonies.

 

I seize my memories as dreams; desires as things of old,

But I remember every touch and promises gone cold.

 

And just to feel this hand again undoes one ancient pain,

Though well I know a second hence, I lose you once again.

 

I won’t retrace forgotten paths that left you far from me,

But I’ll embrace all moments now that once held such as we.
