The Past, The Love, The Memories (contest)

I remember when we first met
and the meetings that followed after
seeing your bright, smiling face
and hearing your joyous laughter

I knew it wouldn't last
now it's all in the past

I remember those three wonderful words
and exactly when they were said
seeing the look in your eyes
being led over to the bed

we made it through push and shove
that was all part of the love

I remember when you passed away
and the love left my heart
the sadness moved in
as my world fell apart

locked up thoughts of you, turn the key
now you're just a part of the memories
