Unforgotten Memories

I remember you from years ago,

A person among my childhood,

As you faded your memories lingered,

I always knew you’d mean something to me.

I’m not sure where it went wrong,

But in that same childhood we stopped seeing you,

But you were never forgotten,

Tokens of memories or photographs for the disappearing of other ones,

Made you still connected to us.

Now there’s bad news and we wonder where time has gone,

Surely not forgotten,

Only missed.

I wasn’t old enough to know better, But as I got older I accepted things as is,

Sorry for not reaching out,

Not to bring you back into at least my life.

Time is precious and we should do things before it’s too late,

Do I have time now,

I hope so,

Because those memories I have of you I am fond of,

And I’d love more while time still allows.
