Memories

Years have passed
still you invade my dreams
this bothers me
for when i wake up
you are not there with me
i realize
only in my dreams
will you ever be

this memory that never fades away
haunting me throughout the day
leaving me defenseless
unable to hold back the tears

with each tear
cascading down my cheek
lies a memory of what used to be

yet
i do not regret
allowing you to pervade my mind and soul
for the memories that now cause such sorrow
once filled my heart with joy...
