THE SADNESS OF MEMORIES

The unbearable painful memories of the past
makes it hard to live the present with a smile
Eventhough the memories are filled with laughter
the joy of it will only take a while
At one point the happiness will turn into a frown
the point you have to realize, everything is gone
The joyful memories turn into sorrow and pain
the point you have to realize, everything is over and done
Your smile may hide the deepest hidden tears,
the desire to want to relive those memories again
But your heart does see the truth, hidden far way
that you only urge for him and no other man
You may know the truth, but you still try to deny
that your heart does miss his strong arms
The ones that protected you from every harm around
wrapped around your tiny body, just to keep it warm
You keep stating you don’t need him
that without him, you will still last
In the future it can be like that, but for now
there’s just the unbearable painful memories of the past
