Haunted Memories

Strange to find 
 that time does ease the pain
but the memories are never quite the same;
 they are forever haunted
filled with ghostly images taunting
 what should have been;
that me and you that slipped into the night
 hovers in the darkening sunlight
and all the stars in heaven
 twinkle life still beckoning;
vague become the experiences serious,
 unfamiliar memories dispersing delirious 
while your imagined presence fades
 your memory haunts the dreams you forgave.
