A Memory

"Once they’re gone so is a part of you"

A memory is but a wisp in time
A shadowy fog
A glimmer
Inside your mind
You can try with all your might
You can cry or even fight
A memory is just that
A memory…

Nothing can compare to the real “thing”
The real person
Left to be just
Remembered
There is always someone
That you just know you’ll never forget
Never regret
But once they’re gone so is a part of you
Left to be nothing more than a shadowy memory
