a box of memories

You know honey

we never meant to part

just differences of the heart

you went to college,i went to war

you were always the girl next door

we dated all through high school

you were a cheerleader

and i was the star quarterback

you were my first kiss

my first time 

you are all the memories

that dwell in my mind

i still have your ring,

and all the other memories,

you left behind.and i hope 

that i'm a sweet memory in your mind...

I have difficulty moving on, accepting things. So i appreciate the lovingly written poem, cherishing precious memories, grateful for the love, even if its in the past.

A moving, poignant story that many can relate to. The reflective quality provides the backbone and some of the the verses you pen are simply terrific. I like the title as well; we all have a collection of memories stored away within a box that our minds can replay and question the what ifs. Thank you for sharing!
