Fading Memory
Fading Memory In the fading light of dayI allow my mind to wanderTo those places from long agoYou and I belonged to each otherInseparable, lives interwovenNever wanting to let goWe would talk all night longPutting right to the worldFalling asleep in each other’s armsMaking plans and dreaming dreamsFighting for what was rightSmitten with each other’sContinue reading “Fading Memory”
