Memories! I smile, I weep







Every single day
I open the treasure of your memories
I smile, I weep
Some make me yearn for more
Some hurt deep, oh so deep!
I whirl, and whirl, 
And they chase
No, how can I erase?
So, I make a choice, 
And move to the lovely ones
Memories churn
Take me on its wings
Emotions glisten in my eyes
My lips tremble to smile
The moment I feel you beam
And your voice ring

  6. Holding on to the loveliest memories is healthy, never forgetting lessons learned from the not so lovely is healthy too.

  16. Wise souls always keep the good memories. The bad ones often refuse to leave, but there is no need to keep on dancing with them. Let us dance with what fills us and makes smile, indeed.
