Memories

It's as if the things in the past are all that ever last,
As I slip further and further into the shadows
and you don't seem to notice
but it's all I can ever do.

I reach out but every step I take forward you are two steps ahead
until finally I feel you are so far away
things seem to crumble and fall
will you remember me? Or will I forever be lost as a long lost memory?

Perhaps it's my fault for I was not good enough
I should have done something sooner to keep pace
but alas I have failed even that
so here I am forever stuck to wander.

Perhaps someday we'll meet up again
you'll continue to be the bright and beautiful star
and see me as some familiar face
lost in the shadows of my fate.
