Remember
by Joan SerratelliI want to remember
exactly why
we got together
but I cannot
I want to remembber
if we were ever
really happy
but I cannot
Memories are funny
they play tricks
on one's mind
they hide
never to be found
I want to remember
what brought
us together
but I cannot
The good times
are now faded
and I cannot
remember
what was
Life has worn us down
and spit on what
we had
we were once happy
but that was long past
I want to remember
the joy, the laughter
and even
the pain
I'll go to my grave
believing
that we were simply
never
meant to be 04/29/2009 Posted on 04/29/2009

As soon as their novelty wears of...questions like you have here start to pop un....could be weeks or years....but they come if the former is the premise. I wish you peace. Thanks. |
| Posted by Kris Mara on 05/01/09 at 07:12 PM very sad...sometimes with relationships, you get to that point...where you just can't remember why -- and maybe there was a reason, but it's so far away, you just can't remember. Very well said (got me contemplating past relationships that ended up here) |
