Past Memories

Walking down the gray roads past the decaying buildings
where I spent so many hours as a little giggling girl,
a person from the past came walking in my direction.
The moment we passed, breathing in each other’s air,
our eyes locked for an instance as the world spiraled
back in time; Memories forgotten lived once again.

 

Laying in the soft white sand as the cool clear waters
tickled our feet, his gentle fingers brushed my hair
as his soft lips brought sweet kisses on my bare shoulders.
Smiles and giggles danced on our faces as we felt the love
was real while we were captured in the living moment;
Memories forgotten lived once again.

 

Back in the present I realized that it was not love,
but lust blinding the eyes as it hardly meant anything.
I have found real love, but it has not found me. When I turn
to look back at the person who passed I imagine the one I love
is there instead as I yearn to be stuck in such memories
with him forever; Memories never lived are not forgotten.
