Memory Box

Should I open it up and look inside
It's been awhile since I've thought about you
Will I remember what color goes with your name
Which memories, the red or the blue?

Will your memories still be there
Will I remember which ones are yours
Do I want to remember; do I want to forget
Do I really want to re-open those doors?

So many memories in my memory box
So many silly little things
But here and there are my heart's past desires
The promises unkept, the frozen fires
And the pain that remembrance brings

And what if I remember and the desire is still there
And what if I remember the sun in your hair
And what if I remember all that we shared
And what if I remember how much I cared

And even worse…what if I've forgotten
So do I really want to open it and look inside

What if I just put away my memory box

and

other

silly

little

things
