Memories they linger
In a world so far away
Reminders of the times gone by
The songs of yesterday
Thinking of what’s happening
All the joy I’m missing
Pondering do they think of me?
Or just me reminiscing
Our phone calls are getting shorter
I’m just too busy to text
I’ll do it in the morning
Now time to reflect
Seeing posts from friends
People they have lost along the way
Yearning for that one further talk
For the words they did not say
Now I am reminded
That nothing lasts forever
Time it waits for no one
No matter the endeavour
I’ll power down the devices
Just switch off all I own
Pick up the phone and call you all
For one day, I’ll be alone
