My memories with you - a poem

Your face
key to my past
Each expression
an experience portrayed
Memories abound
as I look at you
The goodbye
coming all too near
No image
can capture this air

My memoirs
about to be lost to fire
You left
my future is lost
I ache more
so is my past
I stare
wanting to preserve you
My guide
to go down the memory lane

    I wonder why she burned her diary... and felt her future was last after she did. Interesting take on the topic :)

    It is a healthy thing to have retained memories of someone special despite having experienced not so smooth a road along the way! Nicely Nimi!

    A little hasteful to burn down the memoirs, isn't it when it could have been a fine companion for lifetime? Nice poetry.

      It is his fear that his memories will dilute with her demise...

    Nice poetry. I like the line "The goodbye coming all too near No image can capture this air". It says so much.
