Memories Stay

Like photographs faded, tucked in a drawer,
Moments with you linger, forevermore.
The warmth of your smile, whispers in the night,
Memories flicker, casting a tender light.
Echoes of laughter, shared secrets and dreams,
Paint pictures so vivid, like sunlit, flowing streams.
The scent of a summer rain, a familiar song,
Transport me back to places where we belong.
Though time may dim the edges, and changes take their hold,
The essence of our love, a story yet untold.
A bittersweet symphony lingers in my heart,
A reminder that even endings play a beautiful part.
The hand you once held, the tears we both cried,
Are threads in the tapestry woven deep inside.
Though seasons may change, and life may rearrange,
These memories remain, a love that won't estrange.
