Time passes by too slow,
Slower than it used to before.
Every thought I have of you
Is a memory I don't want.

The pictures I locked away,
The reflections of our past,
Images and feelings
I hope you have forgotten.

As hard as it is for me to accept,
It is a fact of life we realized.
Some people are not compatible,
No fairy tale love for us.

Thinking of you pains me.
Picturing you in my mind,
Is emotional torture
I can no longer endure.

I do not have the power to forget,
It is difficult, it is impossible,
But I must continue to try.
I don't want to remember you.

Our friendship is gone,
Like a flame extinguished.
It burned bright like the sun,
But nothing lasts forever.

The pain inside me is hard to bear.
Is there a way I can erase it, erase us?
All these thoughts and memories,
Please, someone take them away.

My future is clouded in mystery.
I do not know what lies ahead,
Whether or not I can move on.
I must light a new fire.

I can no longer look backwards,
Linger on events gone by.
I must focus my eyes straight ahead,
And search for future joys.

I want to laugh again, I want to smile,
I want to rise up and be merry.
Is that too much to ask?
Am I just another lost soul?

That was very inspirational, Rob. Really, well done.

You have a wonderful way with words,

Thanks for the compliments, Andy.
