in memory of

the saddest thing is that I’ll always think of you in shadow
what might have been
what almost was
how happy an us
the sensual side was great
but it was never
just
about lust -

though I still rub my flesh
in absent-minded attempt to erase you -
no.

no matter how unlikely
no matter how premature

it was love.
and now all I have
is the memory of.

About the Author

My name is Love refers to the poetic expression of my Yoruba name. Literally it's closer to "I loved her since she was in my belly" or less crudely "I loved her since she was created". Poetic translation, "loved since conception." Which is fitting because when I love, that's how I love. This blog is a personal recounting of all the things I love, people past and present, places, things, hobbies, life.
