I Will Never Know

I Will Never Know I am just an old man Living my life More memories behind me Fewer dreams before me I have done things that seemed right Things that I would never do again Making love in forbidden ways I remember every moment Taste every flavor Smell the wide variety of scents Every sensation All etched in my thoughts Still my mind's eye is blind It cannot see what I remember Time has passed without mercy Taking remnants of my life with it The imagery has long since gone I go on living without a past Trying to resurrect a memory A memory that my life has denied me Maybe a memory I was not meant remember My mind's eye is blind I will never know because it cannot see Or maybe it will not see I will never know
