Memories

by Jenni

Sometimes I wonder
whether I seem
to forget why you
kiss me.

As familiar as
your hands stray
on my silky skin,
that extraneous did we
become during
those years.

Share your name
with me tenderly
in the tonality
of our love.

Then I will hum
quietly with you
and might
remember.

Otherwise
I will lay my heart
to rest..
with those fading
memories.
