Tethered

So I'll save you in every moment.
In every lifetime.

I seek to memorize your infinite beauty
The state of your mind that never fails to baffle me
How you process the words and thoughts
That flows so seamlessly
I'll try to memorize it all
To carve your laughter into my vocal chords
So that every time I have a moment of excitement,
You'll be first on my mind and I'll remember how joyful you made me feel.

To imitate your mannerisms so that I'll always have a piece of you

I'll stitch the rhythms of your heart into mine
So that maybe, just maybe,
I'll be able to love people the way you did too
And forgive
And bear.
I meant it when I said that you were my muse
My source of inspiration
You are not supposed to be forgotten.
