People come and go
Memories fade
The things that you know
Will all get unmade
But for a brief moment
At the pluck of a string
All comes flooding back
With a melodic ring
Worlds are rebuilt
People revived
Feelings recovered
Thoughts made alive
Transported among friends
The sights, the scents
But just as quickly it ends
As the music relents
Memories burned
Intertwined with song
Painfully sweet
You hear, then it’s gone
Bring me back
In joy and pain
Just one more time
Let it play again
