All For Memories Poem by Matthew Holloway

Soon I will be but a memory
Gone away from your hands touch
Away from you beautiful eyes
Silent to the air about you
I shall be far and distant
Forgotten by some I accept this
For that is my destiny now

I ask not much, no favour
Only that you choose each memory
As carefully as you can
Remember our laughter
Those endless nights we lay
And talked together till dawn
The way we once kissed
And looked at each other

Other memories may hurt you
Cause such pain I cannot imagine
The sorrow and loss, I despair
Please be kind and good
Once I am no longer there

And if such memories
Are hard to find
Then I pray unto the stars
That all such joy
Will be yours in time
