Trying To Remember, Good or Bad

It's been a while

Since I've really "seen" you

The beauty of your face

Once etched into my brain

Along side of memories of ocean tides

Is now slowly fading away

Only being able to remember

By year old photographs



I'm trying to remember

For photos only paint a picture

Without the feelings that came with it

I feel that I'm starting to lose

Sight and emotion of something

That was once so colorful in my mind



And I think to myself

Is this a good thing

Or is it a bad thing



If it's good, I'm on my way

To losing all hold on the past

Moving on to the sun of a bright new day

And if it's bad, I'm on my way

To losing all hold on the past

The past that I once dearly treasured



Only time will tell

Whether it's good or bad

But I'll try to remember you, day to day

Just to see how long my feelings hold

Because no fire burns forever
