I Remember
I remember
at a time when memory grows vague,
the images of a past life remain
held in the aftermath of your going away;
here in the time of my loneliness
the knight is polished in regrets
living in the distance between us
of the laughter and the tears shed.
I should have done better
been there when you needed me,
the pain lingers in my memory
a story told too often in some saddened state
where time holds back and skips forward
beyond all that once
was the you and me
I still long to know.
I remember you
in the travels of my day today,
I see your face among the crowds
as they all slowly slip away
could we give it another do over
though time still measures our past
surely you feel iy, love that forever lasts,
if only you'll come back to me.
