Memories
Location
She hung up the phone and a tear fell from her eye
Her voice rang sadly at her last goodbye
No more long nights together living their youth
Reality hit hard, voicing the hard truth
We wasted our time, thinking we had enough
Back then, we never thought it would be this tough
The red white and blue rings the anthem sung
Looking up at every flag, inside I grow numb
I hang my head as I plead to the breeze
Please, can we rewind the memories?
I lie awake at night
You keep running through my mind
The minutes turn to hours with great ease
As my mind keeps rewinding these memories
Time is too valuable to expense
We waste it without any consequence
Until the day it dawns on you
When you lose something that holds true
I’d never thought I’d feel so inane
When I can’t hear you say my name
I grow stronger each day you aren’t here
The red white and blue still calls you there
Someday we’ll make up for the time stolen from us
I promise our friendship is ageless
We’ll make it through, this I can see
But for now, let’s rewind these memories
