We Were

Written by Sarah Doughty

When

I close my

eyes, I see your

beautiful face, lit from

within. I see the brilliance

of your eyes,  glinting against the

dying  light of the day. Memories flash

before my  eyes. All those moments we ever

shared play like movies.  I remember you.  I remember

us. And what we once stood for. I hold on to

those moments. That’s all I have left of us.

 Sometimes, when no  one is looking,

a smile will creep into my lips.

Because we were real. We

were right. And

we were

epic.

    I’m sure I’m not the only reader who relates to this poem by looking back on her or his experience. I like the prosody by line-length here. (My term for your alternating short and long lines.)
