Memories of the Past

A memory

Lies in our subconscious mind,

A reminder of days that used to be

Days that would make me happy

Days that would never come again

Moments in life that you can't take back

Moments in life that only come once

Months…

Months…

That is what separates us

That is what changes us

The months that used to be

The months about us

Things we did

Things we loved

Nothing but a memory

Nothing but a day

A day in our subconscious minds

A day in our hearts

From when our love took flight

To the day it crashed and burned

I will not forgive

I will not forget

We may be over

We may be through

But I will love you

And I will cherish the memories

Good or bad

Fun or not

It will not matter

It will be important

Memories are what we have

Memories are what I hold

Things I wish to take back

Things I wish I said

Yes mistakes were made

Yes things were said

But a memory is strong

A memory doesn't leave

Reminding me to push forward

Reminding me to be myself

Telling me to find love

Telling me to stay strong

I will not forgive

I will not forget

Our memory of a day

Our memory of a month

Together we stand

Together we love

A memory is all I have

A memory is all you are

But now I know

You are here no matter what

You watch

I pray

So stay a memory

In my subconscious mind

I do not care

But I will love this memory

For I cannot and will not forget that we are family

Rest in peace

My dear Father

For I will live in peace

For my dear Mother.
