The Borrowed Memories

4 Replies

let me borrow the memories of the past
where love begins the very start to last

a love held so long within through time
now found a dwelling to nest a love sublime

let it be mine to embellish in a pedestal
to adorn the path of a journey to life’s portal

the past to live and exist all through mortality
in my years and days of time in an infinity

let me borrow the memories of the past
where love begins the very start to last

to adhere the fulfillment that was promised
a love that heeds to forever that was missed

let it be mine to behold with true love vowed
from the heart i loved… i longed… i owed

a world of our own to fill with love and care
where all in time we have the moments to share

to have each other with a tender embrace to render
bestow my love with no refrain in sweet surrender
