do you recall

right now, right now i
can't help but
remember
the way
you
move
from room to room

and
the way you
sip your coffee, your tea, your wine
the trembling of your slender hands
cigarette clutched delicately between your cold
cold fingers

i do remember that,
clearly
your hands were always cold
even when i held them in mine
the coldness stayed.

when did this happen?
how did we get so
far
far from that place

it would be nice to visit
maybe
sometime
don't you think?
because right now
right now
i can't help but
remember

green velvet couches
and
my head in your lap
you running your fingers through my hair
i never could stay awake like that

it's hard for me,
remembering things
all the things that happened

but i know that it is important
to try
and some things
well

some things never leave
like
the way your hands trembled
or
the feeling of your icy fingers
laced through mine

and the way you moved
from room to room.
