it breaks my heart to think
one day I'll revisit those memories
for the very last time.
your name will cease to fall
from these lips like a prayer.
your face will fade to a blur.
the day will come when you will
leave my dreams for good.
without a tear I'll speak
of first love with my daughter,
twirl the gold band around my finger
put there by someone other than you.
"a kiss on the cheek, my darling
run along now and have fun"
one day I'll forget those memories.
it breaks my heart to think of it.
