Names

Each name reminds me of a smile
A part of me I left behind
The times I said goodbye
The way love always dies
But then again, I loved so many times

Each name reminds me of a song
The nights that fell apart till dawn
When I had more to give than just a life to live
But then again, I've had my share and even more

The sound of every first hello
The words I didn't know
I learned with time the rhymes to every line
And when I think of all the names
The tender games I played
I wonder if they still remember mine

Each name reminds me of the past
The memories that didn't last
The one that counted more than all I had before
That went away one day to let me love again
