Invisible No More

If only I could close

my eyes

and see your face

again

If only I could call

your name

and feel your touch

once more

If only I could have

 known then

how much I would

miss you

how much I would

ache for you

Ache for the sound

of your voice

forever gone

If only I could

remember your touch

If only I could

remember anything

past the beginning

and before the end

If only I could

 remember

anything at all

If only I could

remember

you

and love you

then

like I love you

now

   This time of year…fall… always reminds me of my First Love… ALWAYS. The Silent Boy as I call him. I call him that because we never talked about our feelings. I tried to once and i choked on the word love. I couldn’t tell him i loved him, but i did love him. I have never loved anyone like I loved JNB. It’s been 20 years and his name still hits me…. still takes my breath away. I guess what i’m saying is that i still love him, but i’m mostly over him.
