Times in life remembered

They seem to disappear

A note for a reminder

Message isn't clear

 

I wonder what is happening

Within my mind today

I write with all instructions

But confusion finds it's way

 

It seems like only yesterday

My mind was fresh and clear

The journey I remembered

It seems to disappear

 

So now I jot down daily

And read the words I've said

Sometimes I can't remember

The word's not in my head

 

I slip away in darkness

I sometimes know you're there

But if I can't remember

Please always know I care

 

A touch you give I know I feel

The hug received is now revealed

I see your face but I don't know

If you're the one I'm letting go.
