Memory of Night
for my Imzadi

I can't get the nights out of my mind
The nights we held each other
Not wanting to see the day
That heaven would come to a screeching halt
The nights when there was no time
No schedules, no bills to pay
The nights we lay together in our bed
I still taste your sweet kisses
I still feel your hands caress me
Like smooth water over a mountain riverbed
I still remember feeling
And trying to say what it was
And when all I could come up with
Was a whispered "Imzadi"
I felt your breath on my face, my neck
As you whispered "I love you"
I still feel our bodies pressed together
I still hear your voice
With every pore of my being I heard you
With all that I am I wanted to respond
I wanted you too
I just couldn't turn my mind off
Long enough to do what I feel
That is not a regret
I don't really know what it is
I just wanted to lay there
And feel your arms, your hands, your breath
Your heart and soul
For a Forever with no commercial interruptions
