Cover the memories with a white sheet,
Donโt let them hate each other anywhere.
Because they can go into oblivion,
If you lose them you lose me too.
Collect them in a basket,
Donโt let them fall apart,
Donโt let them ever forget you.
And then when itโs the hardest for you,
Sort through them and find the right one.
They are yours as well as mine,
I keep mine and go through them often.
May the past be never erased,
She has taken a place in our hearts.
Then when the going gets tough,
They will always come in handy then.
They will keep you company as if you were with me,
And you will never be alone.
Keep them somewhere so they donโt be stolen,
You know there are always selfish people.
Resist everyone and let them judge you,
Please always be honest about it.
โฆ.
