Memories

Memories are sweet, they remind me Of how things used to be. But I don’t know why they make me cry Maybe because you are not nearby… I never asked for memories, I only asked for you To stand by me, to see me through But maybe I had asked for too much Maybe there exists no ‘utopia’ as such But I am not hanging on to the past I have let it go so fast Moved on, I really have Trying to be strong, trying to be brave I know I will make it through But of this aching heart, what do I do? I don’t blame you, I never have I guess I was too naive to appreciate what I had But the void inside me still cries out But there is no one to even hear me shout Tears are silent, they say Yet the make the pain go away But will I ever let the pain go? Even when we were together, There were tears and there was laughter Told myself you were best for me Don’t know why I felt lonely in your company Maybe it’s good that everything’s over But the memories, I know will last forever You never even asked if we could be friends That way maybe I could have made some amends? I know not, why I still yearn for you Even though the mask I wear cries out otherwise From this pain, for me, there’s no reprise I will always have you in my heart And love you as much as I did in the start Wish I could have you in my life too But all I have are these memories to rue… ?
