The Last Time

Folder: 
Tributes to Lovers

I'll always remember the last time
and how I lost myself in your kiss.

 

You made my fantasies come true
and left me with the biggest smile.

 

Now that I know that was the last time,
I relive all our memories together.

 

The month we talked before meeting
and how interested you were in me.

 

Our first date and how nervous I was
with your eyes staring at me.

 

How when we parted, you kissed me
so gently and I ran away.

 

Our second date and how I watched you
make your way around the pool table.

 

And when you kissed me so passionately
that I forgot how to stand for a moment.

 

Our third date when you touched me
for the first time in that movie theater.

 

I never craved another's touch so much;
I couldn't get enough of you.

 

Then all the times you kept me company
and helped assemble things for me.

 

And the days you held me together when
I felt like I would fall apart.

 

Then the day that I gave myself to you
and how patient you were with me.

 

Our first month together and
how I grew into my sexuality.

 

Then when plans began falling through,
and I would cry at your unavailability.

 

I tried to find a replacement,
but nothing worked out.

 

Still there you were wanting me
when I had been with so many others.

 

And I find it so hard to accept
that I will never see you again.

 

But I'll always remember the last time
and how you made me feel every time.
