Gold alone remains

A Note

I’ll write you
into a canvas of green and blue

memory made in your image,
like a post-it note that says
‘just popped out’.
This is proof that
you were here once,
that you’re just gone for now.

Folded up with me
a slip of paper that speaks
in your voice,
a part of you I can claim,
time-capsule the years away.

This is proof that
you were here.

Although things aren’t the same
you promised you would stay by me,
stay technicolour in memory
until green and blue fade
until gold alone remains.
