I would never forget

The time she walked into my life

I would never forget

The way her hair felt in my hands

I would never forget

The way she smiled with her eyes

Eyes like the sun

lighting up inside

I would never forget

The way she smelled when coming home late

I would never forget

The way I and others smiled at her

because her smile was too hard to forget

I would never forget

The way her lips pulled down

after every argument

I would never forget that last smile she gave me

right before she walked out the door

Never to be seen again

I don’t think I’ll ever forget

how long I waited

How long I waited for that sun to shine

again

And again

To forget was to forgive, and I knew I would never forget.
