Before They Go Away
i don't mind having memories
they are all that i have left
i really don't mind being alone
sence i've been bereft
my memories are the best memories
unspoiled by lifes complications
nothing can harm my memories
not even conversation
surrounded by my nothingness
i have her in my mind
morning noon and night
she's with me all the time
i think of how she thought of me
while she was so kind
aware of all my jealousy
she kept herself in line
there for me in my time of need
my wife
she was right there
giving me everything she had
all the love she had left
how important were three words
that she'd say to me
they really made the difference
between doubt and security
i may not accept why she's gone
or ever want to live another day
but i have to hold on
and let her memories with me stay
and celebrate each passing day
as if it were the last
and cherish each and every memory
before they go away
