You, Without Revisions

We could try for dear life to remember,
but as time passes by,
fragments of augmented memory gets introduced.
There enters uncertainty,
whether the picture in your mind,
or the voice in your head,
is a complete replica or forged perfection.

I want to remember you the way you are without embellishments.
I am not going to risk the future where you aren't you in my mind,
I am not going to entrust it to unreliable memories,
so I etched you in forever.

Happy Birthday Rola
May you forever be the most heartwarming, kindest, and sweetest girl you are.
