Forgotten Memories

Life moves by fast
It hits me as i think about my old laughs
The times i shared with old friends
Also the times where i didn't fit in

The faces are all blurry
So much time has already passed
Old memories, like the signing of a friends cast
Or back to the book with three bears and curry

My memories have blank spots
And i wonder what has been lost
I see faces but can't remember names
Or names and can't remember faces

It's truly sad that i have friends I've forgotten
Or perhaps they were enemies
I wish i could force myself to remember
But those memories are no longer in me

Congratulations on your #5 win in my contest! I know what you mean. We just lose those memories somehow, "blank spots" or love blinds.

Hey William, Memories are great whether we remember names and not faces or faces and not names. We're sad about the blank spots but we have those we remember. Enjoyed.
