I search my images for that one
The one where you have that look in your eye
Or else the time your lips parted just so
No words spoken, nothing left unsaid
I flip through 4 X 6s for the one with the light behind you
Your face lost in shadows,
Your hair blazing
The disappointing pictures offer only smiles and seasides
But I remember passion and heat
I remember longing unfettered
Your love at dawn, pure as dew
My glossy photos only cloud the truth
With their crystal vision of warm days
But behind my closed eyelids I see a thousand images
Of your touch, of your kiss, of your embrace
Of how you loved me
Of how I loved you
