Just A Memory

Why do you hate me?
What have I done
That was so bad
That I deserve this punishment?
What can I do?
What can I say?
So that you will stop treating me this way?
I’ve tried to talk to you.
I’ve tried to make it better
But with everything I do
I just seem to get further away from
Your heart.
We used to be tight.
No one would do anything
To change what we had.
We’ve had hundreds
Of special moments
And memories.
But now as I write this
They are all just fading away
Into the darkness
Never to return.
I have pictures of us
Smiling and laughing.
But now these are just
Distant memories…
Photo’s in a book.
How I long for the day
Where we are smiling and laughing
Together again.
How much I would give for just
One day of happiness
And how much I pray
That this day will come soon.
As I come to the end of this page
I wish to leave you on
One final message
When I say ‘I love you’…
No one on earth
Can love you
More than that.
