Some call me fearless. I really just ignore the fear.

Months pass endlessly
Your face is a faded image
faded and blurry
No matter how hard
I try to remember you
No number of words can describe
my longging to see you
I bet you've already moved on
I might be chasing an old memory
Don't fret I've forgotten you
The way you smile,the way you laugh
and the way you do everything
Your scent,appearance and you
are blurred and faded
lost in a distant memory
No words can describe the longing
I feel for you

The author's comments:
I wrote this poem because of the distant family members I almost never see.
