Fading Memory
I am trying to remember love at first sight,
But the intensity of your gaze
Is slipping me.
I am slowly forgetting
How your touch lit a fire beneath my skin,
And burnt my barriers.
I am itching to recognize your face in my memories,
But it becomes too fuzzy around the edges,
And starts fading away.
I can hear the sound of your voice in my head,
But it’s muffled and you may as well
Be speaking another language.
I cannot escape the inevitability of forgetting,
And maybe I am trying too hard to hold on
To a fading memory.
