Look closely when next you see your love,
Absorb every darling detail.
For when she is gone
You will struggle to recall the tiniest part.
Every twist of her mouth
Every wink of her eyes
The tangle of her eyelashes
The map of her freckles
How her waist moves when she dances
How her hair falls when she sleeps
These are the fuel to your passion
And they are all it will leave you with.
Savour each kiss,
Each caress as the last.
Lest the end come all too soon.
For love dies as soon as it is forgotten
Memories, minutia, keep it alive.
