Memories Keep Coming Back

Memories Keep Coming Back


I looked back upon my life today
I had nothing else to do
There were a lot of doors
Left unopened and not used

But the one I remember most 
Was the door that led to you
It had fancy carvings here and there
A nice warm inviting view

Yes, I opened up that door 
And we had ourselves a time
You and I together 
My heart yours and your heart mine

It was only me the fool 
That believed such fantasy
You were never mine alone
It just took some time to see

Ah yes that was the door
That I finally had to close
You had found another
And so the story goes

Yes I closed it very hard indeed
You could almost hear it crack
I saw it fade into the distance
But the memories kept coming back

I couldn’t seem to keep it closed
And there are times I just lose track
And if I am not too careful
The memories just keep coming back
