Memories Fade

Memories held by a single silver thread
Falling one by one into the black
Counting the years laying ahead
Forgetting those I left way back

Watching the starry night skies
Shining so brilliantly and bright
Looking ahead and there I see
Such a faint picture far from sight

Waving her hand and smiling hello
Eyes gleam in the nights light
Perfect it seems from far below
Her smile inviting me into the night

Laying in each others arms
Finally it all became clear
For some things don't seem right
When she gazes in fear

Waking up to face reality
Ever longing her fragrance of love
Now daily facing my own mortality
Forever searching for my long lost dove
