I remember –but not of you--
ask me what you look like
I no longer know --
how can I explain these things I do
tending to memories rather than life.

Though you no longer do exist whole in me,
still I remember –feelings never go--
I feel the heart knows what I no longer do
You’ve moved on without me --
but I’m never alone
we’re together in a world of our own.

I once asked you what was your perfect dream,
”Standing in a field covered in snow --
with someone I love and that loves me”
yet I can’t remember what was mine,
But I do remember something I did say --
”In heaven we will be together I promise”
lets hope god understands.

I remember –letting you go--
what heart bleeds to save another
Somehow I know your out there --
with someone else who can hold you
because I never could,
I no longer know where my smile is --
how can I explain these things I do
tending to memories rather than life.

Memories are priceless and also somewhat
haunting at times.  I am thankful that I
have them...though there are some that I
might rather do without...Perhaps those
are the ones that build character?  

Enjoyed the read, thank you.

Memories can keep up warm long after the flame has gone it.

If we understood ourselves better, then perhaps we would have a better understanding of love.

Love & Loving,
