Words Forgotten
This poem was written using excerpts from an ongoing, organic conversation I had with a friend. I did not change much - except for the order and some pronouns. I guess we see life poetically, when we speak with one another. I find it quite beautiful. I hope you do too. The sad, or silly, thing is, if it were not for technology we might not remember the sweet words we have said to each other. So I suppose, for once, I thank my cell phone and my computer for saving my messages.

Think
About the ocean
The undulating waves
It will make your heart smile
You are at the beach
With the girl
She has almond eyes
And an upper lip shaped like cupid's bow
You lie on your bed
Playing with your toes
Watching the fan make shadows
Across the ceiling
I would have enjoyed the daylight with you
But instead I am excited
Excited for our friendship
Maybe it will fulfill me
Our conversation was comforting and warm
You played with my hair
I touched your face
It was wonderful
I have the urge to say I love you
Even though we are so far from that
I have so much love
For you
I thought you loved me
In our mesh, mushy bubble world
Of no memory
You do love me
I have so much to say and yet
I’m speechless
Let’s adventure
Was this morning even real?
