Remember When...

Soft sounds disturb my rest
whispers flitting across my mind
remember when...

Unbidden memories tug my heart
words spoken in tones like yours
remember when...

Remember when... you touched me the first time
                 you whispered my name
	         you said you loved me
		 you promised always
		 you looked into my eyes
		 you walked away.

Gentle thoughts take me away
day dreams of what might have been
remember when...

Watching the flames flicker in the dark
tangible things gone in a puff of smoke
remember when...

Taking the key and locking the door
no more need or time to 
remember when.
