Suddenly Light
Lights had gone out
once again
It was dark long enough
for me to forget warmth
The idea of brightness
was nowhere to be seen
Until today
I held a random match
I found
Instinctively, I scraped
its head across a surface
Suddenly light!
I could begin
to remember

I won’t forget
I will no longer see
the memories
and feel sadness
and loss.
I can feel its power
when I see the past.
When we lose connection,
we shouldn’t forget what
we’ll always have:
Our experiences together.
Even when we aren’t
entirely together,
we can still pick up a phone
and laugh.
