Memories they say never die,
They do they say they are artifacts that will always retain their vigour
Cliches aren't my everyday thing, but this tends to strike home
How do I explain me hearing your voice every time,
I can smell your fragrance from a mile away
But those miles don't stand for bonds or anything that even comes close
They stand as the distance between our hearts
An irreconcilable gulf of guilt between our very souls,
feel guilty even though you were the one who gave us up,
At each time your memories playback
I keep wondering what would have been
I wish we were still on our rollercoaster,
Rolling to the very stars and heights of what we both shared
Fate bears me witness that I did try,
Spending all of the love l saved,
But my treasury of emotions has been robbed of assets,
It is now one with a consuming feeling of nostalgia,
But I owe it to myself to keep reminding me,
That your chapter is forever closed.
So, Cheers to you as you seek to find love once again,
Even as I battle with the demons you left me with.
