I Can't Remember You

I remember how the sound of your voice could make everything right,
but I can't remember the sound of your voice.

I remember how contagious your laughter was,
but I can't remember your laugh.

I remember how your eyes could hold me captive,
but I can't remember the color of your eyes.

I remember how your touch removed me from the rest of the world,
but I can't remember the feel of your touch.

I remember how breathing deeply filled my being with your scent,
but I can't remember the scent that you left on my pillow.

I remember how falling asleep with your arms around me made me feel safe,
but I can't remember the feel of your arms around me.

I remember how natural it felt to love you,
but I can't remember...you.
