Lost In a Memory
I was lounging around just thinking
About a girl I knew long ago
Caught up in a forgotten feeling
It's happened before, you know
Her face was a photograph
Pressed between so many pages
In a book about yesterday
It's a story passed down through the ages
Parked in her drive, the radio on
Her head on my shoulder, just before dawn
I can still hear the music, of our favorite song
Never a thought, how soon it'd be gone
I was lost in a memory
The smell of her soft shiny hair
Those innocent tender kisses
That chicken skin tingling rush
Now all, that's left, are the wishes
I felt them escape down my cheeks
A debt of tears, I began to pay
Then a sound from my now aching chest
As a piece of my heart broke away
Parked in her drive, the radio on
Her head on my shoulder, just before dawn
I can still hear the music, of our favorite song
Never a thought, how soon it'd be gone
The cost of a memory
an original poem/lyric by the "poemdog" Daniel Turner
