A Wisp of Wind

Flashing memories of my life

I want to cling tightly to,

But they slip through my fingers.

Years later,

I'll ask my parents

What she was like

They'll say she was my best friend

Until she had to leave,

Trying to cling onto those memories

As they float

float

float away

Knowing she doesn't remember me.

I look at memories trapped in dusty picture frames

Little photographs found in the attic

Where we wore matching dandelion dresses

And laughed in the summer sun.

Her parents and she drove away that summer

Gone and gone and gone for good.

Little dandelion petals

Blowing in the wind

As I make a wish

That someday she'll come back.
