The heart remembers

Inspired by the Marty Balin song Hearts

When love won't stay forever,

when words fail

pain seeps in and

crowds out reason

But memories still linger,

 

Awakened by

a heartbeat’s jarring nudge

The heart remembers

days of joy and happiness

And nights by the fire,

with hungry kisses

 

The heart remembers

 those urgent whispers

the tenderness that brought tears

 

And a passion,

 blazing as an inferno

hearts can be that way

 

Why can’t sweet memories

be our fixer?

why can’t tenderness

heal and sooth

 

Does not the memory

of our passion

burn away all hurt

and regret into ash?

 

Just turn around,

my love, and remember

Isn’t this why we braved

going thru the fire?
