Lost In a Memory

I was lounging around just thinking About a girl I knew long ago Caught up in a forgotten feeling It's happened before, you know Her face was a photograph Pressed between so many pages In a book about yesterday It's a story passed down through the ages Parked in her drive, the radio on Her head on my shoulder, just before dawn I can still hear the music, of our favorite song Never a thought, how soon it'd be gone I was lost in a memory The smell of her soft shiny hair Those innocent tender kisses That chicken skin tingling rush Now all, that's left, are the wishes I felt them escape down my cheeks A debt of tears, I began to pay Then a sound from my now aching chest As a piece of my heart broke away Parked in her drive, the radio on Her head on my shoulder, just before dawn I can still hear the music, of our favorite song Never a thought, how soon it'd be gone The cost of a memory an original poem/lyric by the "poemdog" Daniel Turner
