Names
Each name reminds me of a smile,
A part of me I left behind,
The times I said goodbye,
The way love always dies,
But then again, I loved so many times.
Each name reminds me of a song,
The nights that fell apart till dawn,
When I had more to give than just a life to live,
The sound of every first hello,
The words I didn't know,
I learned with time the rhymes to every line.
And when I think of all the names,
The tender games I played,
I wonder if they still remember mine.
Each name reminds me of the past,
The memories that didn't last,
The one that counted more than all I had before,
That went away one day to let me love again.
