Always with Me Always with You

The way their heads turn.
The way you laugh when I speak.
The way I laugh when you speak.
The way our silence is broken effortlessly.
The way the silence returns in the end.

These moments mean nothing.
These moments are everything.
These times we share.
These times we laugh.
These things we confide.
These things we love.
These ways we speak.

I would not trade them.
I would not leave them.
I keep them bounded in my chest.
I let them reside near my soul.
You may not.
But I do.
And I will.

It is a part of me.
It is a part of us.
You may not see it.
But I see what is small.
It is hardly considered cherishing.
But I will.
I give home in my heart.
And I do not regret.
I will not regret.
These times spent with you.
The way you see the world.
The way you shape mine.

Thank you.
One day I will miss this.
I will not forget.
Even if you do.
I will always remember.

Thank you.

I want others to remember.
Not directly.
It is natural.
To be subtle.
Like it should be.
Only the different will see.
And the indifferent will hear.

I dedicate my life to the smallest joy.
Laugh with me.
Sing with me.
Dance with me.
Forget me.
Love me.
Care so much.
Don't care at all.
I want this to live.
It will never die with me.

You do not ask.
You don't even see.
I don't mind.
It is how it should.
You watch.
You listen.
You burst into laughter.
You move forward.
I follow.

That is how it should be.
That is how it has always been.
That is how it shall stay.
It will always stay with me.

And always with you.
