i remember it like yesterdays memory
the kind you keep stored for a rainy day to think back and smile, to feel all cozy as if being wrapped in love was possible
we'd loved before but this was nothing the same
new person, new boundaries, new label
we loved each other and we could show it, act on it
and we did
I remember us like yesterday's memory
when I cry for what I've lost i guide my right hand to my left side
it's almost the same
my head on your shoulder, your hand sat perfectly cupped on my face
across my hair in braids and into my hand
in yesterday's memory we can still look at each other and fawn
I can think of you, and it will be nothing but pleasant
there suspended in time you love me, and I can love you
I can be your version of me
the best me
the lover me
I'm a lover
I was a lover.
