My mind takes me down

The winding mountain paths

The roads that link my memories to you

Valleys shrouded in the morning mist

Seem ethereal.. almost dreamlike

The past flashes by.. moment after moment

And I am lost in the never ending

Passage of time I cannot come back to you

Cannot bridge the endless chasm

That separates us

My hands cannot reach out to

The entity that was us

All I can do

Is remember the moments we shared

And in remembering

Hold a little while longer

To those bitter sweet memories

And in doing so

Hope that it gives me the heart to go on

Like the winding mountain paths

The roads that link your memories

To me-
