Someday as I slowly walk along
I will see you in a memory
an instant along the way
when I gaze into the past
a long lost thought
of days gone by.
Perhaps a smell
of a dish I haven’t
eaten since that moment
of my youth.
I will see you sitting
at my favorite table
with smiling eyes,
happy heart.
Maybe later I will
again see you
admiring a symphonic
performance of soft
strings, a classic
concerto that
brings the spirit back in time.
Yes I will see you in many places
we have been.
Many memorable events
that makes it’s way every
once in a while to
our present memory.
Although I miss you so
know I will never forget
our time together.
So for now I will bid so long.
I will raise my tired hand
and wave slowly as I pass by.
My gait not as peppy
as what you remember.
My eyes not as sharp
so forgive me if I
miss you in other places.
My years have been many,
although in our time
these years seemed so far away.
But my dear friend
I will try not to shed a tear
as you fade into the distance.
Just know nothing would I change
from our time together,
unless I was given the chance
to go back and visit you again.
For my old body would enjoy
the feeling of youth.
My youth.
But for now, farewell
dear youthfulness.
Farewell till another memory
brings us back together again.
