MAKING MEMORIES

Be they pictures by inspection
Or simply my recollection,
I keep close to me and true
Memories of me and you.
Somewhere in the past, we met
Sometime. I cannot forget
Your impact ever since on me
As if we were two if by sea.

Times with you of fun and laughter...
Something I do not chase after.
This is because I hold high
Memories of you and I.
Recently or gone a while...
Looking back, they make me smile.
What we had and shared together...
Like we were birds of a feather.

Experiences shared with you...
Past times - conversations too.
While some end up left behind,
Most stand out inside my mind.
Moments of which are unique
Whenever I may choose to seek...
Drawing on our instance had
To make good out of bad or sad.

Life goes quickly and is short...
Another one cannot be bought.
Whether we may keep in touch
Often or even not as much,
We can plan to meet once more...
Whenever, wherever, to explore
The chance of you and me to be
And make another memory.

Alas, to have not been together as one had wished, to have wished as one hoped, just one more memory even, lost to time had spent. This poem relates to that of a hopeless romantic. I hope you do make another memory. Life is too short.
