Remember the memories

Soon I will drift away

And when I do

Remember me as I was and

not what I have become,

Not as I lay but as I lived.


Remember the memories and 

The image that I once was

Rather than reminisce and regret,


Although I’m gone,

And my once youthful River has gone dry

my love will never drift away

but rather 

it will be placed in a box 

and put away somewhere 

I can reach

When we meet again,

Hopefully in another life.
