Keeper

You left behind a broken heart,

You left behind happy memories,

Incomprehensible was the thought of us apart,

You had my heart with its lock and keys.

But I never wanted memories,

All I ever wanted was you,

A broken man begging on his knees,

Imploring you to see that I do.

O the keeper of my memories, heart and keys.

The distant memory of our first kiss,

A memory that I will forever cherish and hold,

A reason to look back in fondness and reminisce,

How naïve we were to think it would never become cold.

O the keeper of my memories, heart and keys.

I only wanted you

I still only want you

I will only ever want you

O the keeper of my memories, heart and keys.
