I’m memorizing every piece of you
I don’t mean to scare you or be rude
they just keep me company while you are gone.
I can play back a moment or conversation
and you go from my mind to right in front of my eyes.
You joke that in a few years I might forget you but
your scent will lingerie in every memory
from the watch you wear
to the way your hands feel in my hair,
you’ll haunt me long after you’ve truly gone.
