Memorial

The sun is high in the sky,
It fills the empty space
Between the cobblestones
Of the road we walked
That day, when you were
Wearing a red rose
In the curls of your hair,
Right before asking me
"Can you please ask again?"

Now I cling to anesthetics
To place order in my mind
'cause every song that I hear
Sounds like
Notes covered in grime.
Smoking green leaves,
I've been searching
For a moment of pure love,
The much-vaunted I have strived for
When I was used to feeling something.
I felt true.

The memory of you
Sings along with
The sound of a violin
Gently carried by the wind.
I had too much to say,
But I said nothing

And gave you my silver ring.
As I kneeled down,
You turned around and
Fixed your look on mine
And time stopped,

We listened to all the sounds:
The bells were ringing loud,
The breeze was like your whisper.
The wind stops blowing,
The daydreaming ends,
I'll keep walking.

Yes, you said.
I will remember,
I will cherish that moment
Forever.
