Memories

By: Radica Sooknarine

The days go by so fast.
No time for remembering when
A glance back into a shady past...
A connection made, we gave each other solace then.

Our joys have come and gone,
The music faded away.
Different paths we have embarked upon
No more going back to yesterday.

But sometimes there’s a word, a phrase, a thought
That stirs a certain Memory.
Images rush back without being sought
Of more intimate times between you and me.

Etched in my mind, those visions never disappear.
You haunt my soul, you taunt my heart,
You gave me Sadness, you still bring me cheer.
You make me believe in a brand new start.

Our paths have been chosen,
Our choices have been made.
No more thinking about what could or might have been.
Just cherishing the Memories before they fade.
