Though I know,
Some things are never to be forgotten
And some scars are to be kept alive.
Yet, I shall pass by the dark shadows And not let your memories ruin my today
All the pleasant memories, as the year ends,
Take refuge in debris.
Connections that were made
Faltered the test of time and withered away.
Copious tears shed on paltry feelings,
Have dried on forlorn cheeks.
And yet, as the bitter teeth of winter recedes
And a glorious Sun rises,
I shall, in the maze of its halo, dream again.
I’ll stare as far as my sight lends,
Into the garden of roses in some faraway place,
Where the first glitter of the Sun dries
The nip of shimmering dew.
I shall fold my hands across my breast
And bury the memories that I made
And feel happy for all that I have.
And those that have left me along the way
I will for once forgive them,
As a sigh heaves out of my heart
(For wounds take a long time to heal)
Yet, I shall pass by the dark shadows
And not let your memories ruin my today
Though I know,
Some things are never to be forgotten
And some scars are to be kept alive.
Though I know
I’ll remember you once again and sob
But not today;
And for once lose myself in the laughter of Life.
