Shall I compare thee to a memory?
Thou art more powerful and deep-rooted
The strength fails to be classificatory
Repulsing my being, away from the alienated
Like a motion picture, steadily it moves
With only the sound of your calming voice
I really don't care about what it proves
About leaving when it was once a choice
But as I seek to foresee the future
I'm not yet close to the end of my bide
And already I could imagine the torture
Of you not being by my side
So please, let me have your long embrace
Before time comes to find what it could replace

This was for an English assignment at school. It was to make a Shakespearean sonnet, even though it's not required to actually use the language of his time.
