Remember the first time you fell in love. How there kiss made you dizzy. Remember feeling that this was it, that this is what it felt like to live. Remember how it felt to feel their hand in yours, the joy of just taking a walk, or the smiles shared, even thoughts. Then, one day, its gone, and you wonder if you will feel that way ever again.
Remember the day you promise to share your life with someone, how you feel inside. Remember how proud, how lost in love you felt. Remember learning that another is going to share your love. The way a new light seems to come into your life. Those tiny fingers holding yours, the joy, the complete all consuming love you felt for that tiny bundle.
Remember watching as they grow, the first fall bringing a spot of blood, how you panic, wanting to take the hurt away. Remember having to leave him, its such a big place for a little one. You leave them with tears in there eyes, as you hide yours, but, when the day is over, he comes back with a smile that melts all barriors.
Oh the years go so fast. Remember seeing there fascination in that first love, and worse, the pain, when its over. Remember how you felt, remember, there will be another, remember to tell them.
Remember when they come home, a hand in theres, only to tell you they have found the other half of themselves. Remember the joy, as well as the worry.
So many things to remember, good as well as bad. But that is what makes us who we are. Its funny how our lives seem to repeat in our children, hopefully better for some, but, still, those memories remain.
Sometimes we travel far away from the memories, but, one day they come home. Remember the sweetness over the rough, remember when the hope was so strong, the love so precious. Is it possible to forget when that memory turned bad. People change, some good, some bad, but, to those that were real, remember when the love was sweet. Remember when they were a part of you, how just being together was right.
