I remember
Like a separation of 2,000 years
I come to the wall where we wail
And I too make use of the distance
As a metaphor for what is so close
But is now but a memory
But say, do you remember?
Do you remember the other side?
The fire we always kept running?
The aroma of love and arousing appetite?
The moments of holy privacy
For those very special occasions
I know it’s not your philosophy
But for me, to fall in love with a memory
Can cause love in real time
You don’t have to believe me
But I know it’s real
And I remember
And I remember held hands
Embraced shoulders
Touching souls
Locked eyes
The darkness of the backdrop
The light of your face
The hope within our hearts
Do you remember?
