Memory Foam

I remember how it used to feel

Every time prior to meeting you –

The way butterflies grew from the pits of my stomach;

How my heart would race because it liked the view.

 

I remember what it felt like

Every time you looked at me –

The way you stared into my soul;

How I melted from your gaze so gently.

 

I remember how you made me feel

Every time you touched me so tenderly –

The way you held my hands in yours;

How everything would fit so perfectly.

 

I remember how it felt like that night –

To have my heart ache in dying pain;

To fall to my knees in a standing crowd;

To cry cries that screamed in vain.

 

I will remember how it feels like

Every time thoughts of you surface –

The way my stomach knots itself in disgust;

How my jaw dropped in the first place.

 

I am always remembering how it feels –

Because losing you isn’t just a one-time affair;

And I hope never to fall in love again

Because the torture is more than I can bear. 

 

 

With love,

Emily.
