Only in Memory

I wish I had a camera
all the things I've seen
looking back I was over jealous
I didn't appreciate what they would later mean.

Bridgewater New Jersey
a brand new store opening...
I used to smoke down by the river
and basque in New York city.

Seattle in the summer
what a wonder to behold
alas I have no pictures
of that great big super dome.

Provincetown in the summer,
sweaty bustling crowded streets,
The Pilgrim monument over my head
just exists in memory.

Highway 101, and LA's super lights
I took it all for granted
on all those awakening nights.

These things now exist
but only in memory.
If I could ever go back,
I'd be sure to have my camera with me.

Only in Memory

A real sense of regret, a good piece that reads easy,
Dave

Thank you so much

I felt as if what I wrote didn't convey my regret for my past sophomoric behavior, but I guess it did. Thank you for the compliment. Amy
