Debbie:

To say I love and hate a one
In the same space of time
Is the curse for all beings
When they fall apart
The memories of what were
Conjured up by sweet melodies
Of nothing but romance
Can cause a twinge
For what was

Yet what was
You know you cannot retain
Nor want
Yet the memories of sweet times
Plague your mind
An incessant thing
That returns at times
To remind of the good
And lest we forget
The bad

The ultimate reasons
For the laws of love
To fall from the greatest heights
To the lowest depths
I know not
But
One cannot live
On memories alone
We must create them
At all times
To conjure back
And remind
