Memories of the Past

This air blows around me Reminds me of the good old days High school days which are past Gone never to return Old faces come and go My head is full of them Can remember the locked ins and outs Wish it could repeat itself Is there anyway to bring it back Pictures won’t do Coz it hurts Times past still hunting I’m listening to this song But it keeps on coming Assemblies we had Songs we sang together Social nights and youth activities Its unbelievable how fast time runs Real soon we’ll all be gone It’s hard to comprehend But it’s a fact everyman has to face Life will go out Just as school days go Wish I could be back again Talk more with everyone See the same old faces But no, it’s not possible There are faces that will never be seen This air is pretty cold Reminds me how cold life is Days of softball tournaments Homeruns and first bases All now behind me Passed on like a closed chapter Will I ever be the same? I keep asking over and over Soccer team and hatricks All a playback movie in my memory now Tears about to fall It hurts a lot No more buffness or athletics All history now And I keep asking over and over Is life fair? Memories are past events They never repeat The cold air is too harsh And the memories are fading But wait I will remember who I was Be proud I was part of a great place This will be my only consolation in this life
