Sweet Memories

Sweet memories, led me back,
To the days we spent together.
There was no tobacco, nor alcohol,
Just the two of us, I reckoned.

I don’t know what happened, must be time
That tore us apart. But I remember the
Sweet things you said, the wishes we made,
It’s not too late to discover.

I lose all control upon myself
When you get so close to me.
Can’t figure out, what’s going on :
Why are we lying constantly ?

What’s the reason for memories ?
Strictly bound to time,
Days pass by…
Memories do keep me alive…

An inner voice seems to tell me :
“ just listen to your heart, and
you shall be glad to know me “ 

My brain is torn apart,
From the things it tells me.
I might be bound to some fall,
If I couldn’t hear it. 

Complete Happiness is hard to reach
Could be nice with your friends but you Can’t make everyone happy. 

"Sometimes relief could be so near, 

You may be blind or unable to see" 

My thoughts are torn apart,
From the things they tell me.
I might be bound to some fall,
If I don’t manage to believe. 

Sweet memories, led me back,
To the days we spent together.
Tobacco-filled pubs, dark atmosphere,
Just the two of us, I reckoned.

I don’t know what happened,
Must be time...

That brought about the Great Divide

What’s the reason for memories ?
Strictly bound to life,
Years pass me by…

Memories do break my heart.
