When that sepia-toned
photograph of yesteryears
fell from the moth-eaten diary
of my impetuous youth
the dampness on my cheeks
reminded me of the promise
I had made then.
I am now on a quest
looking for suitable colours
to fill in this tattered photo
to keep old memories fresh
because forgetting is not an option.

Yes, Gina. Some memories are strong and it would be crime to let them fade away. Thank you so much.
