Memories

I grab tight a moment
One too special for memories
I hold on to every hug
And cherish the many kisses shared
Then I grasp the seconds spent
Held tight in caring arms
Never skipping a minute
Cradled by the warmth of your eyes
But days have gone by
And you've slipped away
I'm left here with nothing
All feelings of love and hope
Float away with the wind
Chasing you in disbelief
Dying to reignite emotions once shared
And praying you come back to me
But my tears start to fall
The flame has been extinguished
I drop to the ground
As reality sets in
Everything now is just a pleasant dream
