I Hope This Reaches You

today I tasted those
melodies
again; they trembled through my skin
tasting of
memories forgotten
unspoken words,
unheard, left broken on our sorry tongues,
still today,
I hope you are okay.
I hope your lips aren't blue
from the things I said
and the ones
I never told you.
I hope your eyes are bright
with new memories, I hope
her name trembles through your trees, makes you
weak at the knees
baby, please
I hope you hear new melodies.
I hope your heart's
not blue
I hope you aren't missing me
as much as I miss you,
baby, I hope you still stay true
to the heart
that I once knew.
