Memories Fade

In the corners of our mind
Precious moments dwell
So many stories we could tell
But like smoke memories slowly fade


However, time is relentless, it ceaselessly flows
Vibrant moments begin to grey
Years go by, like ghosts they steal away
And like smoke memories slowly fade


Moments once so vivid and clear turn misty
So in the corners of our mind
Happiness and sorrow intertwine
As like smoke memories slowly fade


But memories are also etched in our heart
So while they may drift from our minds we must not fear
Wipe away any tear
And trust our heart to continue to hold them close.
