Fallen in Love with the Past
I wish there was a restart button
Something to take me back in time
The idea of holding you again
And calling you mine
I would click the pause button
On the moments I missed,
And rewind them when I’m lonely
Reliving my one sided bliss.
Then I would fast forward
Skip through the fights
Your indifferent shrugs
They surely made me cry.
But our love is the power button
Never turned back on
The memories are vivid
But new ones will never come
As I sit alone watching
I can’t help but stare
At the moments that were once filled
Of love and care
Are rather replaced
With slurs and stares
Of disgrace and uncomfort
But you don’t care.
Take me back when
Our love was strong
When words meant more
Than sounds of hums
Don’t press exit
Stay with me
Don’t change the channel
Or create new memories
When we collide I watch and stare
The feelings I felt are still there
In the memory I hold you can’t take away
You can choose to forget or deal away
But I will hold them deep in my heart
And when I die they will do me part
When I’m sick I won’t forget
When I’m poor I won’t be
Because I will marry them
I am married to my memories.
