Forgetting.

How can I forget

The whisper of many wings

Beating quick this lonely chest

In silence and in hope.

How can I forget

A breaking dawn through windows

That though nearly breathless

Were stolen of their breath

How can I forget

The quaking skin I wear

Being calmed by purest warmth

When your eyes take hold of mine

How can I forget you

When your smile

And your laugh

Can heal the hurt of days

So I never will forget you

For forgetting is as much a sin

As seeing the beauties of heaven

And being satisfied to never return
