The Memory Of You. Poem by Sandra Kavanagh Josefsson

The memory of you.

The memory of you,
lingers on.
What is left,
I feel in the depths of my heart.
Sometimes when I am busy
the thought of you,
crosses my mind.
Something you said comes back
and I smile.

As the raindrops drizzle
down the windowpane,
I retrace our steps together.
As the Sunlight appears,
I realise what we had,
is long gone.
It cannot be renewed.
The desire remains,
but nothing is the same.

The games you play,
destroy you in the end.
Trying to see if someone likes you backfires.
You withdrew your love
and eventually I withdrew mine.
The memory of you lingers on for now,
but it will disappear in time.
