Memories
At times I wonder why
Why that is, all my memories are so painful
Why they affect me so much
But there is something that I believe
Even if my memories are too hard or too painful
Even if they do nothing but cause me pain
I want to live life remembering all of them
Because I know that if I keep them all
Someday, God knows when, someday I will be stronger than I have ever been before
Eventually, I’ll be strong enough that they won’t hurt me…ever
And I’ll be glad that I have those memories
That’s what I believe; I believe this with all my heart
That’s why all my memories are precious
I never want to forget
Yes, all my memories are precious
Every single one
