Don't Forget

The first time
You kissed me
Do you remember?

When holidays
Were sun days long
Do you remember?

It was fleeting
Just behind my ear
Do you remember?

Then off you rushed
In a whirl of skirts
Do you remember?

I remember the taste
The smear
Of chocolate biscuit.

I remember your scent
A hint
Of burnt vanilla.

I remember your breath
A tingle
To lift my soul.

And now down the torrent of the years, the ups and downs and the roundabouts, the tears and joy and laughter in the rain, and that moment between us when there were no words, just no words at all to etch the ecstasy...... how could I forget?

The question is
Do you?
