Have you revisited old memories in the way hours of night
When ghosts of old love call to play
And you reminisce about all the sweet things they once said
First love
Now love
Old love
Do still they wake you in deep dreams of an old life
Once led
Summoning your attention with spiritual subpoenas
With memories of a time
When you rode your chariot proudly with them
Like a hyper Judah Ben-Hur
Into all arenas
Before that old love
Shattered into a million pieces
Like glass
And which now call like midnight sirens
In your own Odyssey
From the past
From a once holy dream
You thought
Forever
Would last

From family, young love to friends.
Do we miss them all even more when that time together has passed?
