A Memory to Hold
The smooth air was blowing
I was smiling without me knowing
It was winter, and I was fascinated by the air
For it was something, no one could ever bear
I decided to wander on my own
And be one with the unknown
I traveled as far as I could
And farther than I would
I saw a tree down street
That casted me, with a fast heart beat
It was the tree I don’t want to see
But I was too far to bend a knee
The tree was a memory so beautiful it won’t fade
It was a memory where laughters were made
A memory made by me and the one I love
She was the best gift I received from above
We used to lean on the tree
We used to sail beyond the sea
She came close and held my hand
And together, we shall stand
But we were both a timid flyer
Dreaming high and higher
We share our dreams together
And I could have sworn we were built to last forever
We were running and laughing simultaneously
As we take the risk, and dream dangerously
She gazed at me in awe
Her smile was perfect, not even one flaw
I could have sworn that time
We were one like a rhyme
As we dance like there’s no tomorrow
And remove each one’s sorrow
I swear, for the first time, I became brave
That I was ready enough for a tidal wave
I was willing to fight for the one I met
The one who was as mysterious as a silhouette
She was blonde; my hair was black
Though we’re different, we didn’t look back
Because we knew each other to well
Thus, we were casted in a deep spell
October 28, 1948
A time where I was about to break the wait
I was ready to tell her how beautiful she was
As I hope to finally call ourselves an “us”
I was even ready to blush
As I feel my heart rush
She was everything to me
As my heart beat rapidly
Her eyes were electric blue
And those were the one who made me new
She was meant for me
Like a fish to a sea
I waited for a day
I didn’t let my eyes go astray
For I know she’ll come
In a minute or some
5 years passed and I’m still waiting
But now my heart starts hating
She left me with no goodbye
She left me crying with her lullaby
I was standing next to the tree
Until something caught my sight, something I see
A carving from the tree’s bark
Removing all the dark
The carving says, I love you
Under it were the words, and I still do
Beside it was hole with a note
Covered with dirt as its coat
The note says, I’m sorry I didn’t say goodbye
But I can’t let you watch me die
Be happy as much as you can
We’ll meet again, though I don’t know when
These words I leave to you,
I solemnly say I love you
My life might be taken away
But my love for you will only grow day by day
As I read her note
Dressed with dirt as its coat
My love for her was awaken
It was only now that I know, she was taken
And now, this I leave to you
Our love was never gone, it surpassed the blue
I may not see her blue eyes anymore
But my love for her, shall only soar
