I’m struggling to remember The way That you sound I try to meet you in dreams The feeling lingers but You never stay around The mental image Fades Ever so slightly It’s subtle, but I can tell That I’m struggling. I’m struggling- To remember you well.
Recently I’ve noticed it Now so ever than before That I don’t miss you enough And that I miss you so much more. That I miss how it feels To not miss it all I whisper your name And no one answers my call. I pretend you’re sitting somewhere Watching me through a little shuttering telescope Receiving my letters In the space telegram Smiling at the thought that you’re not alone As we both fall down this downward slope. And that you write back to me The papers are just lost somewhere In the mail. But I’ll wait for them to come And to read all that they entail.
I’m struggling to remember But I cannot forget And if I’m being honest Now so ever Than before I’m scared that I don’t miss you enough And that I miss you So much more.
Letters to you, Letters from me, Unanswered yesterday, Today will be the same.
