"Remembering"

"Remembering"

Greg Budig 2021

Remembering 

the touch of your 

hand in the darkness. 

Words were 

not needed at

that particular time. 

Knowing 

each other for what 

seemed like a lifetime. 

I knew what you meant to me. 

Remembering 

your laughter is 

haunting my memory. 

You learned 

how to handle 

my irrelevant side. 

I loved how 

you laughed until 

you started to cry. 

Lost in your own special joy.

Remembering 

thinking that you 

always would be here. 

I knew 

better of course,

but I chose to forget. 

So many 

things had been 

taken for granted. 

So many times to regret. 

Remembering 

you falling asleep 

watching movies. 

Of rubbing 

your feet as we 

lay on the couch. 

All the 

little things that 

we shared together. 

Remembering 

how much I was loved
