Memories of You

I believe there's a reason
For every love that we lose
Though it may seem like chance
It's all part of the dance that we do

We can only move forward
And hope that something survives
When the choices we make
Cause the biggest mistake of our lives

All the borders and boundaries not meant to be crossed
Serve to guide us but only keep getting us lost

Though I'll never have trouble with remembering your name
As the memories of you come and go
Still I can't help but wonder if you'll feel the same
In the afterglow of the past

We have no way of knowing
Just what fate has in store
But we'll brave the unknown
With the people we've grown to adore

Letting go of the past can be so hard to do
When everything is a constant reminder of you

Though I'll never have trouble with remembering your name
As the memories of you come and go
Still I can't help but wonder if you'll feel the same
In the afterglow
Of the things we know couldn't last

Here I am and you're wearing me down
When you're nowhere around
I remember the time that we shared
I was so unprepared
Memories of you and the way that we laughed in the dark
How it triggered the spark
Memories of you and that beautiful smile on your face
How it lights up the place
Memories of you and the night that you begged me to stay
But I left anyway
Memories of you and my heart pouring out on the floor for you
