Fragments of Forever

Fading light, whispers in the air

Echoes of a time we thought was ours to keep there

Softly now, the threads unwind

Memories flicker, shadows intertwined

Small moments in the hush of a summer's glow

Laughter bubbling up, too quick to hold

Footsteps on the sidewalk, racing the sky

Now just fragments, a gentle goodbye

Every glance, every sigh, every careless cry

They etched their colors in my mind

Can't outrun what’s left behind

But I hold on, I hold on tight

These memories refuse to fade, they linger on

Bright as dawn, heavy as dawn

They smile at me from a golden past

A beautiful ache that will always last

Tangled with laughter and quiet regret

A story I can't forget

No matter how far I drift or stray

They find me still, they find me every day

Sun warmed mornings, secrets in the air

Moments small, but nothing can compare

With every goodbye, a silent song

Played in my mind when I feel wrong

Colors bleed, time recedes, yet they stay

Old melodies that never fade away

In the quiet corners of my mind

They come and go, but never unwind

These memories refuse to fade, they linger on

Bright as dawn, heavy as dawn

They smile at me from a golden past

A beautiful ache that will always last

Tangled with laughter and quiet regret

A story I can't forget

No matter how far I drift or stray

They find me still, they find me every day

Maybe someday I'll find a way to leave them behind

But for now, they’re treasures I’m still inclined

To visit in my dreams, in the hush of night

They glow in twilight, soft and bright

So I keep these flashes, these pieces of time

Holding them close, making them mine

A bittersweet symphony in my soul

Memories that make me whole

Refuse to fade, refuse to decline

They’re a part of this life, they’re forever mine
