Memories that don't age don't live
In the darkness of my heart lies a light
It peeks and shines, bobs and pops
One of my dearest memories, en event
That lasted years but were seconds
I long, forlorn, for that time
That slipped from my hands
That stayed in the past
That never grew old as I did
Could I have given it
Years, nurturing it
Growing it
Watching us age
My memory slips
I remain behind
I, alone,
With this memory of mine
