I THINK OF YOU

Often, memories come back to haunt me -

I THINK OF YOU

The days have been many and the trials have been long
and it seems I had almost forgotten the words to the song
that kept me smiling as I walked down the pathway of life;
it was easy to succumb to the troubles and ongoing strife.

Then I think of you and my heart is filled with such shame.
How could I have ever forgotten to remember your name?
I think of the times when our world was special and bright
and the times that you held me throughout the long night.

I depended on others to brighten and inspire my days
as I wandered aimlessly, alone in an imperfect haze.
The love and trust of a true friend is so hard to replace,
memories are something that shadows can never erase.

I know that the tears in this message are long overdue
but it needs to be said, when I'm alone, I still think of you.
I treasure the time that we walked together hand in hand
on a beach bathed with moonlight, on soft shifting sand.

Now I have grown old and as I lay myself down to sleep,
it's the memories that linger and the ones that I'll keep.

I think of you...
