I remember, remember how you were there

I remember when we used to

waste our time 

and laugh just to fill the silence

I used to pour water to all the cups

in the kitchen 

just to show you their different measures

you used to say my eyes are like stars

(but where did it leave the moral law?)

I remember your fingers

wrapped around my wrists

and how I've enjoyed

not being able to move

being anchored to the bed

being your possession

I remember listening to your voice

and nodding

not because I've agreed with you

but because

I've agreed with your voice

how my whole body
was agreeing with yours

I remember when I didn't want to remember

and I remember how I couldn't

I remember when I started

losing my memory

I remember

how I remember
