Memories That Save

It's the perfectly
timed kiss on my cheek
twenty years ago
when all my senses
were open
and you forever
came in,

the way we turned
a flat-bed truck
into a friend's corner,
the way we made a
flashlight
more powerful
than the moon,

it wasn't about
childhood
holidays or we'll
meet again,

it was too good
to relive,

we were writing
our forever.
