The Way It was...

My best friend Mandy and I used to say this to ourselves when things got rough and rotten:

Fast-forward to 6 months from now, and we’ll look back and say
Oh that lil thingy. Ah..

And she would add on by telling me (cos I’m normally the one needing the reminder) that I’m a diamond and I should not let anybody make me feel otherwise.

Memories
Like the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were

Scattered pictures,
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? Could we?

Memories,
May be beautiful and yet
What’s too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget

So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember...
The way we were...

If only… if only… if only… I can be 6 months from now, today.
