a box of memories

You know honey

we never meant to part

just differences of the heart

you went to college,i went to war

you were always the girl next door

we dated all through high school

you were a cheerleader

and i was the star quarterback

you were my first kiss

my first time 

you are all the memories

that dwell in my mind

i still have your ring,

and all the other memories,

you left behind.and i hope 

that i'm a sweet memory in your mind...

I always link certain smells to certain memories. Makes the memory that much stronger and alive.

We can but hope that those memories are a two way mirror, remembered by those either side of the glass. Very eloquently stated

Memories are a beautiful thing. I always keep them close to the heart .My mother passed away 3 months ago. Thanks for the memories I have, I can still feel as though she is with me. Eva

Memories are often sad experiences in poetry, but they're sweet in retrospect. Nice one.

This is sad but relieving. I think there comes a moment in everyone's life where they wonder about people they've met in the past. It's a sad feeling ... but a cathartic experience, and I think that can describe this poem. Thanks for sharing.

I feel like I just watched one of those melancholic, indie films that I love.

Such a bittersweet story, narrated so vividly and full of emotion. In the end we're all just a collection of memories hoping we're part of someone else's collection.

you are so right,thank you
