Memories are delicate
I don't remember most
they pass like a blur
the ones staying
the ones that mattered most

Memories are sad
they make me cry
the sad ones chill me
strike me to the bone
but they are the ones
that remind me of home

Memories are happy
they make me smile
the happy ones make me warm
they make my heart beat fast
but the happy ones,
they never last

Memories help me*
they remind me that I have lived
they make me feel like I'm flying
but some make me feel like I'm dying
more memories will come
these new memories
will make my heart thump
