Memories (by Mel) from THE RANTINGS OF A DAMAGED MIND book by nick armbrister and mel grobler Today as I sit and think of you, I remember your face so dearly. I can still see the love which shone As the lights flashed across your face. I remember a straight line across your jaw And the tightness of your expression. I can still see the creases on your face As you smiled at your friends. You seemed so sure and confident And so relaxed and patient. I stood and watched you and When your gaze met mine, I glanced away. I glanced away even though I didn't want to. I turned away though my heart was screaming. I felt as though you were still looking at me And your gaze seemed to tear me apart. I wanted to run up to you and hold you close and perhaps then you would have known how I felt About you... I see you so clearly in my dreams and it seems as though you're a part of me, but you suddenly drift away. You drift away because my grasp on you isn't secure. You drift away in dark and smoky clouds. I reach out for you every way I can. I whisper your name as I walk down deserted alleys and high mountains. I see your face in everything I do, and I fumble with sweet thoughts of you. Will I ever make you mine or will you always Be a memory that I failed to erase.
