The Best Of Their Kind
(from Faces of Love)

Learned years ago
when dog-pucky
seemed to be a constant
in my life
that there is no going back.
The emotions of the past,
felt today,
are memories –
not reality.

And memories
they need to stay
because their reality
will never be the same, again.

Yesterday,
as the saying goes,
is set in stone:
but today . . .

now there's
a controllable entity,
one that sets our memories
of the future.

And memories of love
are the best of their kind,
if
kept in their place.

And memories of love
are the best of their kind . . .

so mine, as before,
will always
contain

You.

Very beautiful, dear Jimmy. These memories of love live on within our hearts. Hearts are places where there is no lack of space ... we can carry our sweetest memories in blissful lightness.

Much enjoyed.

Memories also have the tendency to rewrite what happened back then. I have had to put a sudden stop to my memories for quite awhile because I found I was over- and under-reaching and THAT is just not who I am. Enjoyed this one.
