You will remember me
in the corners we visited.
The places we voyaged to,
the lines we held dear that you keep seeing everywhere,

The jokes we laughed off that weren’t even funny
The books we read in the delicate autumn under
the wools of the blanket.
And all the stars that we named under our names.

But at the same time
you will never find me in those again.
In those that turned memories,
For what you lose once,
never stays the same.
What you hurt once,
Never loves the same.

you

us
