“Memory..
Some things never change,
Like the first time I saw you,
And the feeling I had
After gazing into your brown eyes,
The shiver your look sent through me,
The smell of the sea and the sound of its waves
As we strolled calmly along the shore,
The words we exchanged,
The love that was evident in every word we spoke...
But in the end,
"The boy who gave up everything;
Decided;
Instead of floating in the sky,
Fall to the ground..."
And you are still alive in my memories.”
