Letting Go Is Hard

the sweet and sour bite, of a long lost memory

holding precious moments, still frozen, in time

reminding the need to feel loved, is elementary

*

emotional flashbacks created in sensory

like a dream coming home, to find me at bedtime

the sweet and sour bite, of a long lost memory

**

carried in my heart like a priceless accessory

sweeps me away and I get lost sometimes

reminding the need to feel loved, is elementary

***

remembering your smile and your voice sometimes gets to me

and I long to go back, if the clock would rewind

the sweet and sour bite, of a long lost memory

****

but time steals a moment, as if it were a thief

"oh, the price I would pay for a do over," she whined

reminding the need to feel loved, is elementary

*****

a sanctuary of love that was made out of grief

I'm losing new moments, holding what's been left behind

the sweet and sour bite, of a long lost memory

reminding the need to feel loved, is elementary
