Our pasts

Pasts are lived forever
Played over in our minds.
Soon we cast aside the bad
And grasp onto the good.
Gentle smiles and sweet kisses
Touches soft and smooth to feel.
These we remember well for time
Passing on as we cling to them.
But the memories are still strong
In our minds long after they're
Long gone from our doings, yet
Sweet breezes hold no touch
And light scents cannot last
As long as people we have loved.
May the thoughts linger long and
The love endure longer for those
We have had in our pasts.
