Wait for Yesterday

by tinny tulle


They will leave you
Gone from your life
But remain in your memories
Forever

Waiting to be pulled from the depths of your mind
When you are old and lonely
Memories of being carefree and stupid
Memories of better times

Then there are those rare souls
Enduring thick and thin for you
Always at your side
Until eventually they die

What do you do then
When your children put you in a home
With no one to care for you
No one to hold

You reach into the depths
Shuffling through the photos in your mind
And wonder where they have gone
Where did your time together go

They say friends forever
But really how long is that eternity?
