Memories

~*Memories*~

What do you want from me?

I would do anything,

to bring back those memories,

of the way that we used to be.

Hopscotch, double dutch, bubble gum days,

tree tops, roller skates, dancing in the rain.

Scabby knees, summer breeze, you and me. Memories.

Soda pop, lemon drop, gumdrop, candy shop,

never stop making my world rock. La, La, La

Now all those times are gone.

Somehow everything is wrong.

So now I'm stuck here writing songs, 

I've found that you've been here all along.

The leaves changed color, one way or the other.

We fell right into fall, away from summer.

I want you here with me, I am so lonely.

You are my only memory of when you said you love me.

~Brittany Lacy

     Brittany has so many writings, and I can only go through a little at a time. Usually it takes me weeks before I can go in again because it breaks my heart so much. I had to go in today to look for something very specific of hers, and as I searched I found this poem she had written. Sometimes her writings are so haunting, I wonder if she somehow knew what was going to come.

     The firework picture is one that John took while we were in Brian Head this last 4th of July. I can't help but think Brittany would have talked about this one for days. She was always so mesmerized by the fireworks and all the colors and different designs. This one makes me smile, thinking of her seeing it.
