A Memory In The Past

Mark Anthony Schroettner 1967 (Bethlehem, PA)



There was a time
When I really loved you
There was nobody else besides you
You were the one that I rather die for.

I remember
The times that we shared
We were walking hand in hand
Making love on the sand.

You know
I didn't want to break-up
At times I felt like making-up
You were driving me mad
There were times when you made me sad.

I try
I try to forgive you
I try to forget you
How long will it last
When you become a memory in the past?
