consciousness finds me with but more regret
of memories buried, too deep to measure
now wandering aimlessly, how could I forget
the love, that was ours, is now buried treasure

how we all try to reach out and grab it again
as though it could merely be plucked from a tree
but long dead emotions wash away with the rain
to never arise the way we once had be

I'll never recover such moments we had
when your joy and my joy once strove hand in hand
no matter the tough times or hardships so bad
we still shared our song, sung loudly and grand

perhaps I'll be silent and for once just be grateful
of the moments we shared and all that they meant
then recalling the old times may not feel so fateful
focus on love, allow my pain to relent
