In Bits and Pieces
Memories sift through my fingers
like sand
Of those I loved and then
left behind.
Too simple, it seems, when we
say goodbye--
A word that can smother flames
of friendship and love
How is it possible, after so many
moments shared
To turn our backs, walk away,
close the door
Why is it so easy
to forget
The laughter and tears
we spent together
Before each of us moved on
chasing life
I wish those hours could
reappear
So I could hold and search
each one
And love dearly those moments
they filled
With those who will always be
part of my heart
Though miles separate us like
an unending sea
And love seemed to be given
in bits and pieces.
This was written thinking of, in particular, friends
we have for a time in our lives, then we both move on.
