Memories of You

Once again I walk these streets
The cobblestones beneath my feet
The intoxicating smells that fill the air
O how I wish that you were here
Walking down these streets with me 
Making memories come alive to set them free 
Rewind ourselves to who we use to be 
Back to those days 
When we were young, wild, in love and free
Maybe we could do things differently
Learn from mistakes made 
Before the happy memories fade
Before we forget what we had 
To a time when we were never sad 
The future held our dreams to be
But we lost our way unfortunately
This life we thought was meant for us
Ground our hearts into fine dust
Our love lives on but in the past 
Regardless of this life our love will last
Beyond what we know now to be
It will never be forgotten and live on endlessly
For real love is like a star up in the skies
It's still bright and shines through the night 
Even after millions of light years out of sight

Hi Kimberly.. I really enjoyed reading your creative work this morning. Your poem, my dog at my feet, and a hot cup a of Colombian coffee make for a perfect trifecta! Come see me today if you get a chance...
