“

She used to bathe in the sunlight while smoking

menthol cigarettes and dreaming about the men

that would soon fall under her memorizing

and soft gaze. When I think of her I remember

her haunting voice the most, and sometimes

I can still hear the innocence in the air

that once hid behind her laughter.

She was my light, my life, my memory

of a better love where there was no such thing

as growing up or growing old.

She was a vision of an almost immortality,

and I knew that I loved her from the moment

my eyes met her hypnotizing structure.

When she first appeared in my sight

her skin was glistening beneath the summer sky

and it left an everlasting ethereal impression

that I can still remember like it was yesterday.

And even though she is no longer mine,

no longer here and no longer infatuated,

I will always remember her as the girl

who once saw me as her one true love.
