Memories

It’s been two years now, To the day, almost to the hour, Forgetting the accident: Impossible. Sitting in an apple tree Lighting a candle in your memory Feeling the rain on my back, The tears of the skies as they comfort me, My own tears falling, Adding to the puddle beneath my feet, I will climb down and live on, In memory of you. Before I do, A friend’s laugh under the sun, A helpful hand in times of need, The shoulder to cry on, Someone to enjoy the same things, Rushing back to me now, All memories of my time with you. Games on your laptop, Fetch with my dog, Roller coasters at La Ronde, Laughs about teachers, Countless occasions, Innumerable memories, Limitless reasons to think of you.
