And when you left
I felt it all
A low throbbing in my heart
That didn’t want to say goodbye
But also a quiet knowing
That now is not our time
And so I lock the memories
The smiles
The moments when you looked at me
With playful eyes
Or dared open up
A little, but not too much
I’ll place them all
Into my heart
And lock the door for now
Handing you back the keys
If ever you should come back
In search of new memories
