Remembered Memories

I opened up the closet door To clean out the mess When I removed the first box Happiness I would express Standing in the corner Was my old acoustic guitar The one thing I always thought Would help me reach the star's I pick it up and held it It truly was a godsend Believing many years ago This was my only friend I turned it just a little bit Then I started strumming A little faster then before Soon a melody I was humming It brought back so many memories Of wonderful days gone by I remembered all the happy times There were a few that I cried I would always sing love songs A certain "she" liked me to play It seems like another lifetime Back in my younger days I'll always remember That special song I wrote When I use to sing it Only to her it spoke I sang, how her eyes of blue Had always captured me She said, if we stay together Love for sure will set us free Well, that never happened Because we were both way too young But at least for a while My songs of love to her I sung I moved out to the west coast She stayed behind What we though we had We could never really find But holding this guitar Is like holding her again Remembering so long ago How happy I was then Leaving her was harder Then anything I've ever done before I put my guitar back in the closet Then, I slowly closed the door It felt like all my yesterdays Came rushing back to me So many dreams I dreamed back then But none of them ever came to be 12-16-18/RjH
