Memories-Lost Love

Memories are sweet, they remind me

oof how things used to be.

But I don’t know why they make me cry

Maybe because you are not nearby.

I never asked for memories, I only asked for you

to stand by me, to see me through.

But maybe I had asked too much.

Maybe there exists no ‘utopia’ as such.

But I am not hanging on to the past

I have let it go so fast.

Moved on, I really have.

Trying to be strong, trying to be brave.

I know I will make it through

but of this aching heart, what do I do?

I don’t blame you, I never have.

I was too naive to appreciate what I had

But the void inside me still cries out

and there is no one to hear me shout.

Tears are silent, they say

yet they make the pain go away.

But will I ever let the pain go?

Even when we were together,

there were tears and there was laughter,

Told myself you were best for me

don’t know why I felt lonely in your company.

Maybe it’s good that everything’s over

But the memories, I know will last forever.

You never even asked if we could be friends

That way maybe I could still make amends?

I know not, why I still yearn for you

Even though the mask I wear cries out otherwise

From this pain, for me, there’s no reprise.

I will always have you in my heart

And love you as much as I did in the start.

Wish I could have you in my life too

But all I have are these memories to rue.
