Memories of You

Sometimes I get a little worried
Sometimes I feel sad
Sometimes I start to wonder 
If the pain is really over.

Trying to picture you in my mind
Gets harder each time I try
Trying to remember your words
Whispered saying I held dear
Trying to push away the pain
Always trying to keep you near.

Scared to admit the longing
Afraid to show my tears
Hidden in my bedroom
No one knows their there.

Each night I feel the torment
Taste the tears from my eyes
Grab my pillow in anguish
Let out a deep sigh.

Old pictures torn
Faded from the years
Hold a glimpse into the past
Your once smiling face is there.

Trying to be strong
Holding on to the past
Reading old letters
Memories don't seem to last.

Trying to remember phone calls
Knowing there are few
Quick notes on a birthday card
The ones that said "I love you".

Hearing your distant voice
In the back of my mind
I guess what I'm saying is
Your running out of time.

With each passing of each day
Morning into night
I'm slowly forgetting the
Things left behind.

I love you, I know
That will never change.
I guess I"m wondering
If you feel the same.
