Memories Live Forever

by Ann Stareyes

Dreams can last a lifetime,
And the memories still remain,
You continue to live in my heart,
And the tears fall like rain.

A love that was so magical,
Beautiful in every way,
Slipped through our fingers,
And we regret it still today.

I guess we'll never know,
Why things couldn't go our way,
We were just too young,
Didn't realize our love would stay.

It's strange after so many years,
How I still think of you,
I can see your beautiful smile,
And so many nights I dream of you.

The dreams seem so real,
I wish they would go away,
They're just so magical,
That's when I wish you would've stayed.

Now all I have left of you,
Are a few pictures from our past,
And I'll treasure these memories,
That will forever last.
