If I Were A Memory

If I Were A Memory
Amanda Lynn

This is my bliss, to steal a moment
To be a fraction of a second preserved in your mind
That is a place I could remain forever
Unchanged and never aging
With pleasure undimmed and a smile unfailing
I would humbly await to be thought of
And then, once used, take up my place in your subconscious
Hoping upon hope that soon you'll recollect me once more
And I will remind you.

If I were a memory your brain would be my home
I could know you inside out, from the inside
I would finally understand why it is I occupy my space
And why I am worthy of it.

I would nestle between remembrances of childhood,
I would fight away your demons
I would take upon myself all your pain
I would help you to surpass the past

I could put the pieces together again and help you to understand the truth:
You're everything to me.
