Sweet Memory

I can't explain
Why your face is haunting me
Why I can feel your tight embrace
When you're not here

You're just a memory
Of a love that's long since passed
Yet I can see you, hear you, touch you
In my dreams

I heard the words
You used to say so long ago
I felt your heartbeat
Laid my head against your chest

I felt my tears
Form salty puddles on your shirt
Watched you smile and pull me close
Like you always did

Then I woke up
You disappeared with no good-byes
Left naught behind but empty space
And an aching heart

And now my tears
Break on the floor because you're gone
And yet you're here.. haunting me
Sweet memory

I know this feeling, and you know... it just feels good to see it penned by someone, as simple and plain as I feel it. Brillant write.
Thanks for that.

Yes, very haunting. Great imagery. There was such strong emotions, My own heart started to ache.

This stroll down memory lane is like a work of art. I could see every memory
materializing before my eyes. It has wonderful imagery. I could literally see
the memories latching on that refuse to let go

I can feel the sense of pain.. of loss.. yet lingering in the mind.. the memories still awakened. There is such a beautiful sadness here. Amazing write.
