don't let them fade away
Twelve years old,
Fall in love,
First time is gold,
Can’t stop the flood.
Swept away,
Nothing else exists.
Forever and a day
Kissing those lips.
Close your eyes,
Memorize
What it feels like
To walk on skies.
Close your eyes,
No bills to pay,
Feelings undisguised;
Don’t let them fade away.
Don’t let them fade away,
For time can bleach
And it’s a high cost you pay
To stay out of reach.
Your best friend,
Sit and talk
Images without end;
No need to walk.
Swept away
To everywhere.
Make them stay;
Handle with care.
Close your eyes,
Memorize.
So those feelings
Never die.
Burn them in.
Take them all the way.
Who says you can’t win?
Don’t let them fade away.
Don’t let them fade away,
For time can bleach
And it’s a high cost you pay
To stay out of reach.
Pink haze, pale moon,
Trees shyly whisper.
Don’t need a silver spoon
To see the big picture.
Night softly creeps.
Moon gains ascent.
Pink goes to sleep.
You know where it went.
Close your eyes,
Memorize.
The colors are for keeps.
Pink saves lives.
Fix those images.
Feelings ride light rays.
Death walks a pilgrimage
Don’t let them fade away.
Don’t let them fade away,
For time can bleach
And it’s a high cost you pay
To stay out of reach.
Fireflies over a field,
Warm summer night,
Their signals won’t yield.
Get it right.
Rhythm of blinking,
Concentrate on linking
Movement to your thinking
Thirsty soul drinking.
Close your eyes,
Memorize.
Those lights in your heart
From summer skies.
Hold them tight
For to dragons slay.
You know it feels right.
Don’t let them fade away.
Don’t let them fade away,
For time can bleach
And it’s a high cost you pay
To stay out of reach.
