Memory Lapse Poem by Dorothy (Alves) Holmes

I don't remember
The last time you reached
For my hand when we walked
Side by side...
But now that I think of it
I don't remember the last
Time we walked side by side.
One of us is always a step
Behind or a step ahead.
I simply don't remember
The last time we
Embraced,
Kissed,
Laughed together,
Carressed each other,
Said I love you...
I don't remember lots of things
We did together that made
You my knight in shinning armor
And me so dog gone special to you.
I don't remember
When last we boasted
That we were happy,
I don't remember the last time
You made me want to sing
A happy song,
And I never see you smile
Anymore when I enter a room...
Memory lapses and
To tell you the truth,
I don't think my mind has
Any thing to do with it!
