Living through Death: Remembering the dead on Forgetfulness

My fears have only set in. I was starting to forget you- Memories of you passing slowly day by day. It has started with your face, that smile and the feeling of your calm. I was starting to find comfort in the spaces that were created by your long absence.  On the first months and years, I wanted it all to go. I hated the loneliness.  I wanted to end the pain that hurt till the depths of my aching heart. But now I want to steal back every second from each fleeting minute towards Oblivion. I want to remember in vivid clarity each wrinkling curves of your smile even as your face begin to fade in my memory. And in between the cacophony of this little town's hustle and bustle, I earnestly listen in search for each syllable of your voice gradually fading away from this healing heart. I want to remember you, And I always will.
