I Think I Love

Kimberly Thomas

I think I love
the memory of your face
the way you smiled
the way my lopsided grin returned yours

I think I love
the sun beating down on my face
burning, scorching, in the desert heat
in a way you never knew
in the overcast, hazy norm
back when we knew each by other

I think I love
the soft purr and mild mew
of a cat you never met
and I think she loves me too

I think I love
the idea of what could have been
a promise unkept
a future never realized

I think I love
most of all
a memory of a you that I never really knew
