The Secrets That We Keep

 
I remember a story never told

In a photo no one's ever seen

Until now

I remember a girl I never met

In a room that had never been occupied

Before today

I remember moments that have yet to be lived

I remember a future of smiles and friends and family and honesty

I remember a lover, a supporter, and great hair

I remember soft skin and blue eyes

I remember new sheets and light pillows whispering for me to flirt my way past them to her

I remember a temptress with a body like a siren and a voice like the wind

I remember a girl I've never met

In a photo I've never seen

In a room I've never occupied

I remember a future

That I will never forget

I remember her
