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.
