THE MEMORIES

Dear love,
I was never taught how to care too much
I was never taught how to find a perfect match
I was never taught how to open my heart's latch
I was never taught how to cry for a fish that I can't catch
Until your presence in my life turned a clutch

I remember that cold convincing evening
When we met while it was still raining
You sympathised with my shivering
And without caring who could be watching
Let me be on your sweater's warming

For a long time we had less to share
But the little we shared cleared the air
Of my troubled moment I made you aware
Because your single word bred a peace so rare
And my emptiness was always filled with your care

I would wonder why we were never worried
By the fact that we just journeyed
But the destination could be varied
Until our addresses were copied
And together we were ferried

In your arms I found a haven
And never cared what could happen
Until the day I received the news at seven
That you had paid a visit to heaven
And I lost my consciousness till eleven

Your absence, oh your absence created a horror
A horror message that I couldn't afford to honor
That in the meantime our spirits would hover
Hover around heaven paying homage to the owner
For your absence made my bad days Seem longer

I'm still staring at your sweet sweater
But I must say that it always makes me feel better
The Girl on the other side of the mirror looks prettier
Whenever she's on it, though the memories are bitter
But trust it bears the message of a love letter

I see you on every page of my life that opens
Especially for the little Mike who took on your wits
So I'm writing this in memory of your charms
And in celebration of your conquest of fears
'Cause we shall rejoice together when his glory appears

From your loving princess
