Names
Each name reminds me
of a smile
a part of me I left behind
the times I said goodbye
the way love always dies
but then again
I loved so many times
Each name reminds me
of a song
the nights that fell
apart till dawn
when I had more to give
than just a life to live
but then again
I've had my share
and even more
The sound
of every first hello
the words I didn't know
I learned with time
the rhymes to every line
And when I think
of all the names
the tender games
I played
I wonder if they still
remember mine
Each name
reminds me of the past
the memories
that didn't last
the one that counted more
than all I had before
that went away one day
to let me love again.
