Moments, Memories, and Miscellaneous Things

by Jack Scholtes

How many moments, do you think, does it take to forget

Two or three, maybe more, for something small

And probably more for something bigger

Maybe it’s different for everyone

 

The things we did together, no matter how short or long, were well spent.

The laughter I heard echo from her heart, her soul

Sounded better than anything I had heard in the last 21 years

I need to dive into those moments again

Now, it’s probably been a good amount of time to think

Maybe a good amount of time to heal

I think she’s ok right now

And I’m probably ok right now, too

 

But when I hear the noise my radio made, the one that scared her

I need to break it, just because it did.

And when I moved my car across a parking lot,

Just for her to take a picture,

I’d give everything to see the smile while she took it

 

Maybe she is ok right now,

But I need to dive into those moments again, and again,

 

And again.
