Oh! He'll remember me!
He's definitely going
to remember me!
I have left
pieces of me
in all parts
of his life.
From the excitement
of our first meeting
to the butterflies
we still get when
we are alone
together at the
end of the day.
Oh! He's gonna
remember me!
The supple kisses,
soft pats on the
bottom,
a deliberately placed
nibble in the hallow
of the neck just
below the ear.
He'll remember me!
There are the books
I've read and the
journals I've filled
in easy reach throughout
the house.
My thoughts and feelings
among his T-shirts,
lap-top and shoes.
He's gonna remember me!
Every time he closes
a cabinet door,
or tightens the lid
on the toothpaste,
He'll remember me!
Down inside the couch
he'll find my
hair barrette and
about a million pens,
(I can't ever find a pen),
an old grocery list,
and a few lines to a poem.
Yes, Yes, He's definitely
gonna remember me!
Wedged way in the back
of the closet He'll
find one shoe,
that one shoe I spent
30 minutes looking for
because I had to wear
THOSE shoes out on our date.
He's going to remember me-
so much more of me
than I'll ever know.
He'll laugh out loud
at some joke he remembers
I once told him and
he'll feel me slip my
hand in his,
so sure he'll be
that I'm right there
beside him that
He'll turn his head
to look but find
I'm just not there.
The scent of
my perfume lingers
in the air,
He stands so still,
breathing in lightly
the smell of me,
so afraid to move,
to look around
to find no one
is there.
He's gonna remember me,
He's definitely gonna
remember me!
May each memory of me
He encounter throughout
the rest of His life
bring the sweetest smile
to his lips, and the
happiest thoughts to mind.
He's gonna remember me,
He's definitely gonna
remember me!
