All I Have to Do is Close My Eyes
Is memory one of the senses?

All I have to do is close my eyes
To see that smile
That smile that turned my heart inside-out
And gave it a reason to keep beating
The sun on the back of my neck
Feels soft and warm
Like her petite hand
As we’d walk along the hills for hours
If I listen carefully to the wind
I hear her laughter resonate throughout the valley
That annoying staccato laugh
So ridiculous
But like everything about her
So genuine
The wind carries the scent of honeysuckle
Her favorite
But something else
Smoke
Smoke from a fire
A fire took her from me many years ago
The taste of salt stings my tongue
Tears roll down my face
Stupid tears
Stupid fears
Shatter my fading memories
Of her
But
All I have to do is close my eyes.
