I have a box
I kept in the attic
concealed and forgotten
gathering dust
One day, I tripped on it
knowing what I’ll find
I opened it
with trembling hands
In it
sweet memories
long forgotten
came spilling out
Dearly beloved
from bygone years
stared right through me
mocking with their smile
Blinded by a sudden
flood of tears flowing
images I hold
became blurry
Wiping away salty tears
one familiar face
stood out
with his famous jawline
His eyes
sparkled with merriment
lanky frame suppressing
a hearty laugh
I let out
an audible breath
feeling a deep yearning
for someone we’ve lost
I miss teasing him
his chuckles
still ringing in my ears
repeating my pet name
All I have now
are echoes from the past
the black and whites
and his love deeply ingrained in all of us
