Remember
Life goes by so unbelievably fast,
I am not sure what to savor and what to let fly by.
We all change so much,
I feel as if I don’t know those I love with all my heart.
Life speeds far too fast,
I blink and it is moving already.
Time is unforgiving,
All of us are separated by it’s passing.
We all turn over yearbooks,
And remember as if it were yesterday.
And laugh and cry at the haunting memories,
That we hold on to get through life.
We say, “remember when…”,
And crack up while wishing we were there again.
We think back and wonder how it all fell away so quickly,
How we didn’t see the unknown future looming ahead.
We remember how life was and never will be again,
Because life, by nature, is too quick for it’s own good.
We read those messages as if from another time,
As though the sacred writings weren’t written for us.
So we remember and cherish,
But wish it were still here.
More then a memory,
Or a signature in a yearbook.
We try so hard to cling to the past,
When really all we have is the present and the future.
As we remember, we remark at the unfairness,
Of life, of time, not enough of it.
The memories haunt us,
We want so badly for it to stay as it is, as it was.
But that can’t happen,
So we remember, with sorrow, joy, and each other
