Memories Remain

Memories remain when everything changes
even when the people are no longer in your life
and everything you own ends up disappearing
while trying to reach for something that's already gone
Summer days and sunsets, stargazing and the moon
moments like these last forever
and nothing is able to erase it from your mind
Despite the consequences of moving on
and the long-lasting effects of a broken heart
memories can mend the pieces that fell apart
and create new ones to replace the lost parts
