Memories
Our love was based
On so much more than
Sex like the hand-tied steps
We took around campus
Walking each other to class
And the nights we laid on your
Bed watching nothing in particular
Why do these nights only replay
In my head when you looked
So beautiful drying your hair
I’m lying on the floor with
Your feet on my chest
Our love was good then
When it was based on jokes
Cause we used to laugh at silly
Things and talked about wedding
Rings well I did cause I
Really loved you
I had found the one
And I still dream about that one
Time the first time we said
I love you I still dream about you
Even though I’ve found my one
I still want you to be the
One I woke up and found
Stroking my hair cause I
Woke you up while I was having
That nightmare where I lost you
I’m living a nightmare
Cause I have lost you
And you won’t ever again
Laugh at the way my hair
Grows in different directions
We’re running from this
In ten different directions
These memories hurt
My heart tear my soul in
Ten different directions
I’ll never stop loving you
But you’ve been reduced
To mere memories
