Memorabilia of Me and You

It was on a night like this

I gathered all my courage to say "yes"

One look at you had me breathless

Thinking back, it was the first time I was so close to you

Everything else had faded away

It was the night I had stopped denying what was true

Sweet as it was

I had missed the chance

I lost and found myself silly to have let it pass

Another year had gone by

Still, you were never far away from my mind

I had no means to rid myself of the feeling, no matter how hard I try

I let down my walls

Years have passed and I found myself in a bitter fall

Beaten down, I had to crawl

Many things have happened

The feelings, though it grew old, weary, and tired

Had stayed within as it had demanded

A glorious fall indeed

Hatred was too strong of an emotion I dare not breed

I will have to recede
