Says
He says it would take a lot of doing.
That it would take all we could do
To be not be mad at each other.
All I could do, he could never imagine.
He could take away the pain in my eyes.
Take away the pain in my heart and my soul.
To never be hurt again and to never hurt anyone else.
Memories are like precious jewels,
Never fading away to nothing.
The thoughts of the future.
Thoughts always held dear.
But alas all is lost in one moment.
Lost in one thought when something,
something is said or done.
The past is gone and the future is near
The present is now and more precious of the three.
