Make Memories

Leave
                                                    one day
                                                 but not soon
                                                 in the future
                                         when the time has come
                                         when the moment is ripe
                                  when the heart has learned to cope
                                      the bittersweet pain of parting
                                     gather enough memories to hold
                               have them lock in the safety of your heart
                              one day in your life, you may need them all
                                  like your need for the rain and the sun
                                   your need for the spring and summer
                                          in the autumn of your heart
                                           to warm your winter nights
                                                 when life is lonely
                                                  make memories
                                                    while you still
                                                       have time
                                                           left
