Memories...memories...

They sustain me through my lonely moments

They torment me endless at times

They make my dreams sweeter  my life brighter

They make me love  they make me hate

They feed on me and I thrive on them

Memories of my childhood bring a smile on my lips

Memories of lost fights make me bristle

Memories of my first kiss make me yearn to see her

Memories of the first ever feeling of lust

Memories of dark and dank days when life was miserable

Memories of my dad who passed away

Memories of school, of college, of  my many friends

Memories of games played and riotous times

Memories of my first job, my first salary

Memories of the time when she said “YES” !!!!!

Memories!!!

They have made me  what I am today,

They still keep adding on

Years from now I think I will sit back and

Remember that I wrote this from memory

Will I smile? or will I frown?

Hope my memory holds fast  for ever!!!!!
