I promised I would remember,
The curve of your soft lips,
And the way they melted to mine,
Moulding to one another until our time was up,
Then you would say, “Always and forever.”

I promised I would remember,
Your syrupy charming chuckle,
As it made my lips perk up,
Yours would too,
Then you would whisper, “Always and forever.”

I promised I would remember,
The gentle dip in your chest,
Where my head would rest,
As we lay together,
Then you would lull, “Always and forever.”

I promised I would remember,
Your steady walloping heart,
And the way it swallowed mine
Each time I heard it speak,
Then you would mumble, “Always and forever.”

Now, I’ve forgotten the clear blue skies,
And your blue eyes,
All I remember is the secrets held,
Within the blue abyss’ depths,
When you whispered, “Goodbye.”

Favorite Quote:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn&#039;t serve the world. There&#039;s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won&#039;t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It&#039;s not just in some of us, it&#039;s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.<br /> -Marianne Williamson
