Memories 

by Hotaru/Amber

Autumn winds blow beside me,

Carrying my bright yellow hair to the skies.

Birds fly around me

Such melancholic cries.

I tuck up my collar,

And hug myself with my arms,

Until I find a park bench,

Alone,

Quiet and empty.

A white daisy I pull out from my old pocket,

Poor thing.

It's a wonder it's made it this far.

Red, orange leaves fall beside me,

The ending season is here.

I wonder what my first love is doing, right now?

Walking with Katrina in a park, holding her hand?

My memories are wistful,

Tugging painfully at my soul.

Tears fall from my heart,

Rain from my dreams,

Cold showers,

And a winter's icy breeze.

The past is gone,

Like the leaves of the fall,

Blowing away,

Leaving it all.

White petals of the flower,

So clear and pure,

Filling me with a hope.

I brought this daisy for him,

For me,

For what might have been,

And for what could still be.

But above all,

For our forgotten

Memories.

I stand up, and lift the flower to the wind.

White petals blow out of my life,

Never to be seen again.
