Memory

10 Years after the death of a friend.

There is a face in my memory,
Somewhere in my mind,
The face has become so blurred,
The details are hard to find.

That laugh that I knew so well,
That was always in my thoughts,
Somewhere over the years,
Echoed away til it got lost.

A voice that was so familiar,
That was once so very clear,
Time has taken its toll,
And I forget it more with every year.

I may forget the details,
But the memories will survive,
And it's deep within my heart,
Where I'll forever keep you alive.
