It’s been too long.
Once I knew every line,
every nuance of you.
I knew your touch
and the smell of your hair.
I knew the way you cocked your head
when something I did puzzled you.
Or the slight upturn of your mouth
when you looked in my eyes.
I knew the taste of your lips.
But it’s been too long.
The shade of your eyes
I’m sure were blue.
But I see them as just haze
in my mind.
I want to feel the stubble of your beard,
before my fingertips forget.
