However

Remember the things we didn’t have to forget if we had never met. The touches. The kisses. The hands exploring this part and that. You in me. Me in you. Remember all the things you are trying to forget. Because I will never regret, and I can never forget. Too colourful is the tattoo you left under my empty skin. Too vivid is the memory during those early hours of lost and lonely nights. However brief we knew each other, however far away our lives drifted, however pale the memories turned and however everything changed… I will never love you but I will Always long for your fingers in my hair.

If you only saw me and knew how much this never meant. If you ever touched that part of your body I only grazed and wished for my imprint to have never faded. We could have been eternal. We could have been whatever we wanted to be. Whenever. However… We never were. We are a ghost fading in a drug induced haze.
