Do You Remember Me?
 
Do you remember me?
When our stars struck over the churning seas
We burst into a million little pieces,
Each a letter spelling our love,
Down to the water they rained
A lingering luminescence
So we lit the legend of you and me
When our stars struck above the churning seas
 
Do you remember me?
When we made love ’neath the sycamore tree
When I was the artist,
And you were my canvas,
Each kiss a new colour 
In the palette of our existence
So we sketched the story of you and me
When we made love ’neath the sycamore tree.
 
Do you remember me?
I remember you –
I do.

Love the repeating structure (Stanza 1: repetition of 'When our stars struck above the churning seas' and 'When we made love ’neath the sycamore tree' in Stanza 2). I feel like it ties the whole poem together.

Just a question- is the 'I do' (final line) meant to evoke memories of a marriage proposal? If I'm right in thinking as much, I must say this poem is very good, and plays out as a very romantic down-on-one-knee situation.

Bravo!
