Memories

Seems there has been much tragedy the world over in the past few days. Then again it could be a case of more simply being brought to attention that much quicker. Who knows?

Today's song, "Memories" by Within Temptation tells the tale of how memories can be used to hang on.

But as Rikku points out, "Memories are nice, but that's all they are." How long can you really hold on before you have to let go, one way or another. But for now I'll just wait for those silent moments, looking for a sign.

(whispering) Memories, memories, memories

In this world you tried
Not leaving me alone behind
There's no other way
I'll pray to the gods: let him stay

The memories ease the pain inside
Now I know why

All of my memories
Keep you near
In silent moments
Imagine you'd be here
All of my memories
Keep you near
The silent whispers, silent tears

Made me promise I'd try
To find my way back in this life
I hope there is away
To give me a sign you're okay
Reminds me again
It's worth it all
So I can go home

All of my memories
Keep you near
In silent moments
Imagine you'd be here
All of my memories
Keep you near
The silent whispers, silent tears


Together in all these memories
I see your smile
All the memories I hold dear
Darling you know I love you till the end of time

All of my memories
Keep you near
In silent moments
Imagine you'd be here
All of my memories
Keep you near
The silent whispers, silent tears

Pray to the gods... then again, when it's my turn to play god, things will be different that much I'll promise.
