The ultimate romance



I remember
the walks through parks,
over bridges,
in the Parisian rain.

I remember driving
on interstates with strange numbers,
along rivers and cliffs,
to cities unimagined.

I remember holding your hand,
and touching your lips
and whispering secrets
we had never share again.

I remember my last breath
before your last breath,
and how much it hurt
to take the next!
