Memories

December 23, 2010
By Anonymous

With one look, all the memories come flooding back.
Or have you forgotten all that we had?
My world is crashing all around me,
As you face fills my vision and you’re all I see

Tell me this time we’ll be forever
Tell me this time will be better
Oh, say that we can try again
I’ll say now if you ask me when
Let’s try again, again

With one look, all the memories come flooding back.
Or have you forgotten all that we had?
My world is crashing all around me,
As you face fills my vision and you’re all I see

Love me like you did before,
I can’t see you walk out that door
Oh say that we can try again
I’ll say now if you ask me when
Let’s try again, again

Why can you make my heart race after so long?
This is so right, don’t you know that you’re wrong?
We’re perfect for each other,
Tell me we’ll be forever,
This time will be better, honey…

This song was written after I came home from a social event where I saw someone I love whose absence for 6 months stuck out like a sore thumb. We smiled at each other, and it was in that smile that I saw everything that smile had meant before. It's true that you never know what you've got til it's gone.

&quot;Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind.&quot;
