Hi folks, Amy here.đ¤ First post in this forum. Yesterday's episode moved me a lot..I mean literally pushed me into writing something. đPlease do read and leave your comments below.
MEMORIES
Told myself over and over again
Not to look back,
For it would do no good.
Wipe off that upside down smile
For the world does not recognize it.
Now that this is your new abode
Do like the others do.
And so I did.
It was tough at first
Slowly, became my second skin
Surrounded myself with many
And thus, kept it all away.
Ten years ago, he too left my side.
The skin that I had painstakingly stitched,
Ripped and I felt exposed.
It was too late,
No stitch could repair it
Walked around covering it to the best of my abilities.
Sometimes, the tear would show
But by now, I had long stopped caring.
With time, all flew the coop
Left all alone, I looked back for company
Alas, they mocked and moved further away.
Cried and pleaded.
Don't take away what is mine.
But have you heard of anyone
Who has stopped sand from drifting through their fingers?
Or even anyone who has tied down a cloud?
They didn't leave me alone forever.
At times uninvited, they came, prodded and teased.
So close and yet so far
Tried to catch them,
A futile attempt
Lost all hope.
And one day, he returned
I was thrilled.
Told myself this is the best thing.
But what he did for me was something greater.
He stepped into the time portal with me.
It all came clear
As if a light was shone
They were all there as if they had never went away
Again I tried to catch them
To hold them tight and to never let go.
He put his arms around me
And smiled softly
And I knew then and there
That I had succeeded.
For with two pairs of hands
They couldn't wiggle out so easily now.
By sharing with him
My happy memories were locked away
Double locked...
