The Echo of a Memory (Poem)

A song played on the radio

Took me somewhere I seldom go

Back to when there was you and me

 The echo of a memory

Promises whispered in the night

Foolish dreams filled our hearts with light

We thought we had eternity

The echo of a memory

We laughed it off when our friends said

That we took our love for granted

Too young, too reckless, too carefree

The echo of a memory

Now many years have come and gone

Since we dried our tears and moved on

As though there was no you and me

The echo of a memory

Today I saw you in a crowd

I called your name, though not out loud

I left you where you’re meant to be

The echo of a memory
