*A Memory of A Memory*
I remember closing my eyes as you held me
I was in the safest place I had ever been.
Standing with you in the dark
thinking about what this might have meant.
I felt and heard your heart beat
the love was burning strong.
I thought this would last forever
But man, Was I wrong!
It felt so warm while you held me
yet the night was so cold.
My heart fluttered as I felt your touch
and prayed this would never grow old.
It only took a moment for me to fall in love,
and a life time of forgetting something that never was.
Wanting you to call my own was all I'd ever need
but instead you helped me realize you and me could never be.
The night soon ended
and the memory turned to flames.
I finally realized after all that
you were something I could never tame.
My heart was left shattered, but I guess you live and learn
if you play with fire you're bound to get burned.
I was blind, but now I see that you broke my heart
And left that night as a memory of a memory that will never be.
