	I remember the looks 
so penetrating, so deep 
silent and innocent 
filled with questions 
though ready to be asked 
wouldn't be because 
those beautiful lips 
have been trained 
for confidentiality; 
 
I remember the smiles 
so sincere, 
so accommodating 
saying in their innocent 
sincerity, "U don't understand" 
yes, I do but protocol 
demands that I don't... 
 
I remember the hug 
well placed though 
far-removed one from the other 
yet never demeaning good intents 
but ensuring endearment 
 
I remember the walk away 
the turnaround,  
the skimpy smiles 
warm look,  
sadness spread over 
it told stories of distress 
and cornered all with a 
solid message: 
"I wouldn't have wanted you 
to go if I had the power to" 
 
I remember the wave 
with long well-manicured 
fingers hanging nimbly 
on an immaculate arm 
"goodbye!" it says 
and all the others swallowed 
as the swagger went 
round the bend, out of sight 
I remember,  
I remember you 
yes, I do,  
even now as I write!
