Simple Moments

What memories did I leave in your mind?

Maybe, maybe not, only you can say

Do you still remember my face or name?

Or was it all discarded along the way?

Moments in time seem so important in our past

But they are just moments left behind

Life moves ahead for us and we move along

Seldom reaching back for ties that bind

Love finds us given the time and space to try

But its timing is not always the best

Two people in the same space and time embrace

Yet only in that moment; not the rest

Thoughts of yesterday seemingly from nowhere

Reminding one of those days so far behind

Simple moments yet memories which endure

Brought back anew by just a simple song line

Were those just romantic forks in our life road?

Put there to test our choices; to see where we turn

Landmarks along life’s highway in time

Sometimes in darkness, like a candle they still burn

Maybe it was just the pandering of our youth

Experimenting with our emotions turned asunder

Casually cast away as nothing in their time

Now returning to our mind; causing us to wonder

I guess we were only sailing ships passing in the night

Bound for other destinations in other times

Passing so close yet never quite stopping

Continuing on our plotted path ignoring all the signs

Whatever we were, we will probably never really know

Too much time and life has past us by to really say

Do you really still remember my face or name?

Or was it all discarded along the way?
