As Memory Fades

 

I can still envision

the tiny green flecks

in her alluring brown eyes.

I remember how the summer sun

always brought out the highlights

in her strawberry blonde hair

and made a few small freckles

visible across her nose.

I still recall the beauty marks

she had on her back

and the small scar on her left wrist

from crashing a dirt bike

when she was eight years old.

I can still see

the pronounced detail of her collar bones

flowing gently into the curves of her shoulders

I can remember almost everything about her

except for her voice.

I can no longer remember

what her voice sounds like

and that makes me sad.
