first love
and gentle kisses
innocent dates
do you miss it?
have you kept our secret?
i miss you dearly
more than i miss the sun and the sea
more than i miss the days of ease
have you kept my secret?
the one only you have seen
when you had to hold me while i fell apart
only to have to help find the parts of me I’d lost
do you still have that painting?
the one i worked on for all those days
the only one ive ever made
and given away
do you still have the other half of my heart?
or is that piece of me
within you
something you’ve long forgot
