The Heart Remembers

|

Tonight I think of you and so like the other nights tears stung my eyes

out of love, out of remembered joy and out of pain.

Pain of not seeing you, of not being with you.

I close my eyes to relieve it of tearsĀ 

pain entwined with our memories is rooted at the core of my being and in no way I can stop from remembering

your smile, your presence clings to me, lives in me...

Pain and longing, pain and wanting, pain and needing

pain of loving someone who refused to be loved...

My heart though is stubborn and it doesn't heed the reasoning of the mind,

it refused to give up...

for as long as it beats this heart will live for you alone.
