Every song rings with them, their bittersweet echoes seep into the melodies Every photo bring us back to a time we yearn for Every day marks the beginning of another love, another loss, another memory We are polluted with memories We create memories every day And each new one never really leaves It simply manifests itself in a different facet of our lives Be it a place, A song, A shirt, A person, The possibilities and triggers are endless Living with them will bring everything from tears to joy We may be poisoned by them Or we may be lifted by them But they are there, whether we like it or not And just like the coffee stain on my desk My memories will never leave me
