Hiding memories

I've been listening to the songs from my past for two and a half days straight and it amazes me i finally found the one that reminds me of you.
when you asked me just the other day did i remember the day we met and i had to say no...
i guess i spent these last several
years just hiding memories and
could you really blame me?
i honestly thought i'd never see you again,not in this lifetime.
so i really felt like hiding the memories was the best that i could do to not get hung up on the past.
then when i met this other guy at school, suddenly i heard from you again and you wanted me back.
i guess three years isn't quite
long enough to give up on someone's thought of a memory because as soon as i heard that old George Strait song coming through the speakers,
all those memories i've been trying to hide just came rushing back to me in waves of happiness. i thought you'd forgotten me but, oh thank the lord i was
wrong
and i guess this is what i get for trying to hide memories this good for so long and if i ever start to doing it again, please remind me
that hiding memories this good does me no good and i'm so glad to have all these great memories back and i would never want to forget them again for as long as i live.
i wouldn't trade them for all the hundred dollar bills in the world. i know for certain now, i'd be better off broke if being rich meant hiding all of our memories
for the rest of my life.
they may not all be diamonds in
my mind but, remembering and wondering is a helluva lot better than losing every memory of us.
i don't really know about much else but, hiding our memories
just ain't something i think i could do anymore.
