Shadows and Memories



Come with me, you said
To the deepest part of the deep
Where I've sneaked some thoughts in
The memories I have, of you, of us

Now I am asking
Do you loathe these memories?
You say you don't
But then, I wonder

If you cherish them as you claim
then why hide them
In such dark places
Where even you cannot reach them
