A Memory

I'm just a memory
A sweet yet bitter memory
So near yet still so far
Like a ship in a jar?

A memory you can't forget
But not sure if you regret
A memory you so clearly see
A memory whose door has but one key?

Will I ever be more than just a memory to you
Will I ever awake to find you there
Is it something you will find the courage to do
Are you willing to take the chance?

I may always a memory be
Your face again I may never see
The days may fade years meld into a haze
Yet when you close your eyes my memory begins to blaze.
