A poem about unrequited love by David Tombale: Memory

In some cases the people we love no longer can or will return our feelings and situations like that are the inspiration behind this poem.

Memory


In the soft embrace of lover’s gaze
I see you, steady as the mountains
as beautiful as a summer breeze,
like the last notes of a symphony
that plays beneath the forest trees,
that of cicadas and foxes,
all is silence, all is beauty and memory
and with you I will always remember.

Writing the last lines in this awful
letter trying not to let her fade like
the fog outside my window, she flits
away and something inside me cries
while I’m trying not to let her because
I will always remember.
