I'Ve Kept Your Memory Close
When memories glow like luminous fireflies
and days become another red thread on the horizon
I will remember when love was you
and I, the soft light that brought comfort to darkness
you are the memory inlaid, until death
you are the scattered drops that endlessly float
in the silent mist of loneliness
you are the haunting face, drifting in empty nights
you are the eyes in my dreams
that rise like two moons in the gray abyss of illusion
causing me to wake with cold sweats
restless and shaken
Yes, I've kept your memory close
you were a flaming star crossing the night sky
etching a trail, burned into the eyes
you were the warm light that vanished in the cold darkness
leaving only wishes and a sense of awe
that came from shared moments of perfection...
