I realized today I had forgotten your laugh
It was a whisper in my mind now
Once your most defining feature
I don’t remember if you laughed often towards the end
When we were stars exploding into black holes
I strained to think of our first kiss
Your lips on mine come easily
But the words you said has faded
They were once tattooed brightly across my heart
Life has worn away so many layers now
I long to remember the sound of your voice
Sweet whispers remain against my ear
The ones you never shared before
To macabre for the light of the world to reach
But tucked away safe in my memory
So much of you has become lessons now
Your touch and your kiss transformed
A reminder of a person I once was
A constant warning of what to never again become
A mercy cry to the future
The days you were my lover have set
And I made a dawn of what you taught me
Turned you from a lover to a teacher
Because using your memories up to fuel growth
Is the only future we’ll ever have
For my Kitten. I’ll always regret who I was for you.
