"Through the years...."

@Uootem

Through the years of growing up.
Through the years of memories,
    Our love... the first taste of something real
          our first kiss... I remember it still,
    Our first dance... self-conscious but self-confident,
          our friends... they too moved on,
Memories of Love, joy, and pain.
You always there,
      To love and comfort and cherish me so,
          then you left.
and I am left remembering forever...

Now we're all grown up
    walked along separate paths of life
          I hold fast to the memories and
write to make them last
    no matter what they were,
        good memories had
From first love to lost love.

Just think these were the good old days
    I sit back to reminisce
        Missing paradise (you) ever haunting me,
But grasping to a hope .... yet such a faint hope
    For you and I will share those memories.
If perhaps you have not liberated them.

I hope we never lose touch
    Even if it is just a passing hello
          for you represent the world to me.
Just remember this........
    ... hold on to "us" through the years.
