Please, take my memories from me.

Just for awhile, so I can breathe,

Someday they may bring comfort,

But right now they make me grieve.

My heart keeps pumping feelings,

From deep recesses of my soul,

And reviving my old memories,

In an attempt to make me whole.

While my soul keeps purging images,

I see your smile; I sense your touch,

Then I'm reminded that I love you,

And I still miss youOh! So much.

I remember how you held me as a child,

When I was scared,

Your lips gently touched my forehead.

Showing me how much you cared.

I'm reminded how I need you,

Even now that I am grown,

How I wish that I could visit you,

Or call you on the phone.

But my life has changed forever,

And I know I must move on,

So, please, take my memories for awhile,

Until I accept that you are gone.
