## Souvenir of Us

In the echo of departure,  
a memory clings to the fabric of my shirt,  
a souvenir, not of places,  
but of the hands that once held me.  
  
It's the scent of jasmine  
threaded through the air of a forgotten morning,  
the laughter caught in my hair,  
tangled like the roots of old love.  
  
This souvenir is the quiet hum  
of your voice, a melody that vibrates  
through the hollow of my bones,  
a song of loss, preserved in silence.  
  
I carry you, not in photographs  
but in the way light spills through  
the spaces where you used to be,  
gilding the absence with your shadow.  
  
Every breath I take is now a pilgrimage  
to the temple of your absence,  
where I lay down this souvenir,  
a relic of joy, a testament to what once was.  
  
In the museum of my heart,  
this souvenir does not gather dust;  
it grows, like the moss on ancient stones,  
a living reminder, green and vibrant.  
  
So when the world asks for proof of love,  
I show them, not the trinkets bought  
but the air I breathe,  
the space you left,  
this souvenir of us.
