such a silly girl

I thought music might help me to recall
all that I've forgotten of you
The color of your eyes; your laugh
the way the sun played against your skin
on warm August days
Decorating the Christmas tree while
talking of summer and our party
such a silly girl to worry so
when it was so far away
But it was the one day that was ours
Our special day that would last forever
such a silly girl to love so much
to trust with such an open heart
Thirteen years, thirteen summers
Our special day that would last forever
such a silly girl

Beautiful image of a struggle to hold onto memories of someone loved. I like the idea of using music to hold onto that image. I sense loss here and hope that it is because of the same loss I see coming. We have a sixteen year old daughter and I still remember when she was a silly girl. But she's growing out of those earlier years and those days are becoming memories. I hope music will one day help me remember those silly days.

...you make me think of all the little things that trigger memories so sweet, just when you thought you had them tucked into the safest place. How nice to remember and bring them out again when there is need.
