Like The Scrolls Of Qumran

I hope to be a page

in the story of your life.

Some well written section

drenched in subtext

and subtlety.

I hope

that if we ever

were to part,

and the years

caused us to languish

and fade

(like pain after triumph,

or a rumor in retrospect)

that you could

return to that page

meditate on all

that we were

and memorize me

for eternity.
