The Memories You Gave To Me

The memories you gave to me so long ago still linger on. The heartache and pain of parting have been forgotten and are gone, but your memories still linger and they are mine all mine. They might fade a little as years go by, like old photographs tempered with time; they are my treasured possessions as the years fade away. My only consolation of the once loving heart and the good times we had before love drove us apart. The memories you gave to me will be with me ever more. No one can take them away like our dreams they did before. Maybe our love has gone now and will never more return, like the fires in your eyes for me that are cold and refuse to burn, but your memories are still there and will remain as long as time allows. All the happiness and joy we had alongside the sadness and pain. I may never quite get over you after all that’s been said and done. For the memories you gave to me so long ago still linger on. 16 January 1996
