I am reminded always of you
In all of the dark and quiet times
And the thought pierces me through
My empty longing mind
Cleaving a path straight and true
To where thoughts of you shine

Helpless to thinking another way
Than these thoughts as such
Pardon the words that I say
The pressure is just too much
Forgive my remembering today
Of how it was when we touched

When, at times it becomes so real
It is almost all that I do,
Thinking of how it used to feel
Before time quickly flew
It is something I cannot conceal
I am reminded of you

"Forgive my remembering today
Of how it was when we touched"

This is a poignant moment, when you 'feel' the remembered touch.
A tender write, Jerry.

Helpless to thinking another way

No matter how much we pretend we're okay, the memories slip in and we tumble back in time. This is achingly beautiful! *S*
