In My Minds Eye

Memories are they a blessing or a curse? Maybe both...

In My Minds Eye

I can't touch them.
I can't smell them,
  but I feel them inside.
I can see them in my minds eye.
I can feel the sensation of your touch,
  the taste of your lips,
  and the essence of your kiss.
Your arms were warm
  when they held me so close.
Who's going to hold me now
  that I am alone?
Memories are a blessing and a curse.
Not missing what you never knew...
If you never loved, would you hurt?
But having experienced the grandeur of it all,
  the highs, the lows..
    not once,
      but as many times as you can recall...
Would you say it really is better to have loved and lost...
  than to never have loved at all?
