The memories fade away
I wish the human brain did not age
I recalled your smile before you died in the bay

I wish you had stayed
But this world was your cage
The memories fade away

Constant battles lead to fray
This life should have been your center stage
I recalled your smile before you died in the bay

Warmth eludes your eyes, no longer like sun rays
Sorrow leads to mourning, and mourning leads to rage
The memories fade away

Your body flowed with the currents, your skin an ill shade of gray
I guess it is time to turn the page
I recalled your smile before you died in the bay

It no longer feels like day
Sadness blends into nights; time has made me bitter, not a sage
The memories fade away
I recalled your smile before you died in the bay
