Unpacked Memories

(Turn on music at the bottom for the full experience)

Carefully placed thoughts
Bubble wrapped in the bittersweet
Forgotten for another day
Dust lightly blanketing its resting place

I reach for it
In the window to the past
One thing, then the next

Suddenly frozen
Heart skipping
Fingers gliding

An object
A memory
Happy
Cheesing
Giggles

Gone now
Forgotten awhile
Faint crying

One little mug
Half full with memories
Half empty with yearning

I miss you
Miss that day

Transported from my hot summer
To our cold winter

The snow and the lights
Mulled wine coursing veins
A sheet of armor from the cold
All housed in this mug

Smiling while sad… but somehow it’s good, I think

Reminiscing
Treasuring my unpacked memories

A mug placed in a cabinet
A heart melting

I miss you
