Memories

Memories
LindaC

Memories packed in the corner of my heart
Poignant, tear stained glimpses of days gone past.
I hold on to the memories of gold
These are treasures that carry me through.

All I have left of you are memories.
I'll not see you again in this life.
I hold memories closely to my heart.
They bring tears and I must cry.

I sit and daydream, wishing you were here.
You are no longer a part of this world.
I am haunted by what was and is no more.
My memories are all that remain.

Friends don't speak your name.
It is like in their mind you don't exist.
But, I need to speak your name.
I haven't forgotten, nor am I uncomfortable.

Memories fade and soften with age
Yet these are all I have.
I will forever hold you deep in my heart
And I will never forget!
