Holding on Futilely
to the memories
The very first time
that you kissed me

Grasping at them
holding on tight
so as not to lose faith
Not to give up the fight

Just one memory
that's all that I desire
Just a little fuel
For my internal fire

The times we sat together
With no words said
Just the two of us
and the thoughts in our heads

Each tender kiss
that was ever shared
Sometimes the memories
are hard to bear

Just one last chance
to tell you what I feel
just a single prayer
that maybe you will hear

I'm only mortal
prone to mistake
'I know I made a big one
'I didn't know what was at stake

'I took for granted
what you gave to me
and now that it's gone
my heart is breaking

The memories are all I have
of our short time together
But i cherish every one
and I will cherish them forever.
