For anyone having a hard time or just wanting something nice;
Unforgettable
Your image like a photograph ingrained
Your eyes, like a novel I want to read
A forest of questions to explore
What lurks beneath them, shall perhaps remain mystery
Like little beams of light they dart around
Like raindrops unsure where to fall
It was by chance that you would look at me
A raindrop would land and startle me
Like a summer storm I fell
To run out, jump into the open air
To swim to an island ashore
To share a dance with you
It was a vivid dream, then
It was but a dream
I looked away
But did not forget

Your smile,
A childish grin
So subtle, and foolish, and carefully sly
I’m watching like a quiet lake, so still
My reflection of you, is fading ever so
Into little ripples of the lake
I looked away
But did not forget
Your voice,
When I heard it first
It wasn’t vast like the ocean
Nor was it like the sky or clouds
Not like the sun, or the trees, or their roots below
Not like thunder or lightning, not even rain
But rather, like a treasure hidden in the sand
Its rhyme, its rhythm, lost in my brain
Still I remember when it called my name
Each grain would fall
Slipping through my fingers, before my eyes
I longed to hold it my hands
But I looked away
Still I did not forget

Your laugh,
It was like the rain at night
It pitter-pattered, rumbled and echoed as it fell
I watched and listened through a window, a sheet of glass
A barrier, a wall, I dare not cross
Like a child and its bedtime story,
I was drawn to the sound of it
And never would I have enough
But I looked away
And still, I did not forget

Your hands,
They were distant planets foreign to me
I watched them, through but a telescope, wistfully
If only I could reach out, if so I was willing
To somehow venture through the void
But the void, it grew only more as time and space led on
And soon, I knew, you would be gone
So I looked away
But could not forget

Your shoulders,
Not bulky, not broad, not epic, nor monumental
Nor lean to be exact
But strong, and lightly tan
Like an architect’s design
Like a smooth clay figurine
I glanced upon your physique, your frame
But only for a moment, a secret glimpse
Then I looked away
But did not forget

Your hair,
Sometimes hidden beneath your hood
Sometimes messy and unkempt, disorderly and disheveled
Always fell perfectly around your eyes
Framed you, beautifully, charmingly
Like a work of art, calling out on display,
That stood out from all the rest
I loved all your colors and depth
And when I looked away
I did not forget
Your kindness,
It wasn’t anything extraordinary or strange
Nor was it the least fake or false
It was quiet, sweet
Like hot chocolate, filled with a rising, gentle steam
It came when least expected,
Like a tiny flower, perhaps a wild one, that grew between the cracks
It was cautious, almost awkward, but it was lovely
And like a flower myself I bloomed, like a star I beamed
My heartbeat quickened, rushed by butterflies
My mind raced with thoughts and jumbled with words
And all I said was the very least, though I longed to say much more
Perhaps, again, it wasn’t much you did
But with it, you stole my heart
You were the only one
And all I did was look away
Though, never forget

You were at last, a beautiful sunset, so surreal
An experience to have again and again, new to me everytime
Underneath it all, I longed for your ray of warmth and security
I could never step into the light, no matter how I tried
I was glued to silence, held down by gravity
And like that,
Gone all too soon,
Your glow fell beneath the earth,
Your colors faded into the sea,
But still, an image I can recall
You were unforgettable.
