Maybe I’ll Be A Memory
Does he kiss you, like I kissed you
in my dream last night
Does he make you want forever
not just the morning light
I know he can make you promises
that I could never do
I want to say, just walk away
but that’s not fair to you
Does he make you smile, like I did a while
is he all that he can be
I know it’s vain, but still the same
do you sometimes think of me
When you see a singer strum a six string
with a sad look in his eye
Do you wonder where I ended up
and breathe a slow, sad sigh
I heard it through the grapevine
you are smiling all the time
It’s good to know you’re happy
though I wish the reason was all mine
Well the night is late, it’s all up to fate
when love is not to be
I’ll drink a beer, wish you were here
remember what will be…will be.

WOW!!! a sad poet needs another poet, a sad man, a friend so they can look inside a bottle of beer and wonder until the stupor settles.
Great writing.

Life is full of what ifs.
What if I have done this different
Would it have made a deference
No one will ever know but
Sometimes things don’t work out
The way we want them
But is better to have love
And be a memory than never to have
Love! beautiful lyrics for a great
Song call ( Maybe I'll Be A Memory )PS make this a country song
Love and Peace to you
Your friend Yolie
Even though this one's tinged with melancholy, it is very cleverly delightful at the same time!
Excellent!!
Love&Hugs, Rhonda
Enjoyed this poem, my friend. I think most of us can look back and wonder 'what if'. This is a classic. Loved it!
Many blessings,
