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
