Fleeting Moments

Precious moments fade away leaving only memories behind Like the summer breeze, the starry nights- The unspoken thoughts that rise again 'n again in my mind, Only to make the tears well up and cloud my sight Memories of better days slip away like tiny grains of sand The little things you used to say,those laughing eyes, The soft caresses and warmth of your hand Are'nt erasable, try as hard as I might. The fall of the leaves with autumn season Follow the cycle of nature and reason Another reminder of the transience of time, Like the yellowing photos of yours and mine Are cherished memories that get better with age as vintage wine This tells me that letting you go without a fight was a crime.
