One day, photos won’t be enough

One day, photos won’t be enough

to penetrate the fog inside my head

to recall the memories they embed

to stir again the emotions that I had

to remember the girl who stole my heart

the one I longed for when we were apart

to remember her beautiful face

glowing like the moon full of grace

eyes twinkling like stars in outer space

to remember those happy days

when life was a dream

like a bowl of peaches and cream

to remember the love we shared

to remember the places we dared to see

leaving our imprint in history

to remember the things we did

when the fire was still alive, and

to remember those I leave behind.
