New Memories With You

sadpoet

I close my eyes and take a walk through our memories

Because that’s the only place I can run into you.

 

I visit your laugh, your warmth, your curly brown hair

as my mind wanders down lanes filled with small moments 

of you.

 

And then I wake up and walk forward, forging a path that

will never know your laugh, your warmth, your curly brown hair;

Every new memory I make

doesn’t have you.

 

So I close my eyes again and 

return to past scenes 

on roads that I’ve already traveled;

Sometimes picking a different fork in the road to pretend

what could have been, what should have been.

Making new memories with you.
