i've waited for years for it all
to fade softly, like fading sunsets
but still these memories
knocking on my door
if i put them in water, diluted to
half strength, would they have less
effect?
i am anxious for that day when
the suitcase is empty, the glass only
holding a drop, one i could slowly
sip...till it all comes back, the way i want
to remember it
