Autumn Mist

I remember mornings like this.
Sitting on your balcony with the crisp, clear dawn on the horizon.
The city lights reflecting off the lake.
My legs draped around yours and the glow of our passion still on your skin.

I remember your curls slipping over your face as you nuzzled closer to me to keep me warm.

I remember the cigarette smoke as you exhaled your pleasure.

I remember you.
Your scent, your breath, your profile.
The feel of your skin as my body sank into yours.

I remember mornings like this with you.
So close.
I remember the feeling of your bones.
We shared our bodies, our souls, our existence.
You loved me then.

You promised eternal love.
Always and Forever.

I remember mornings like this with you.

I remember you.
I carry you on my skin.
I have you inside me.
Always and Forever.
