I Am Just A Memory Now I'm just a memory now, a home movie of laughter and tears, gray, blurry visions of past rainbows, forgotten love-moments over the years. I'm just a memory now, a smoke ring in a silent room and you just opened the window so you could breathe, I presume. I'm just a memory now, you live on with me, only in the back of your mind while I live on lonely. I'm just a memory now, you can't touch one of those and soon enough I'll fade away, I'll be the only one who knows how much I still love you but that's the way a memory goes. |

Some memories never fade...but when only one remembers what two should treasure...it's such a tragedy. I'm glad I read this poem, in some ways, but in one very poignant way, I wish I hadn't. I also wish it weren't this way for you, because....well, just because. |

I'm just a memory now, you live on with me, only in the back of your mind while I live on lonely. Oh, lordie... you just wrote me, lady... You write this pain so well... I hurt for both of us. |
