The Now
You say I'm your fondest memory
And while I know that this is true
I don't want to be just a distant thought
I'd rather be there anew.
Old memories grow dim and fade with time
But my attachment to you is strong
And confining it all to a scrapbook
Somehow seems all wrong
I'll always be part of your history
But don't cut me out of today
Don't make me part of a moment
You remember fondly then put away
Don't ask me to just be a memory
Because frankly, I just don't know how
Yes, I'd love to be part of forever
But I still want to live in your now.
