Memory of you

The sun has finally set.
There's just one dim light on the horizon.
A burning light of orange, red and purple colors, All of them dancing on the music that the first stars on the sky appear to play.

I look beyond that light and I see you.
Just like the sun you seem to be further and further away...until you disappear.
There is only one thing that remains and that is the memory of you.

Funny how memory works.
It is not only my eyes who keep seeing yours,
But my skin also remembers your touch.
My lips still taste like your kiss.
My nose still smells your sweet scent.
My ears still hear the melody in your voice.
Even when darkness comes, you are still here. The night comes only to let me know that tomorrow light will shine again.

I have wandered through many roads.
I felt lost and kept finding myself.
I thought I could have you, but you were never mine to take.
Your heart is yours and will always beat its own way through life.
I remain silent and I listen.

"Here" is an abstract point in time and space. I am here and you are here and we are both neither here nor there. We just are.

Sounds like a poetic version of synesthesia wrapped in memorable words all their own. ?
