Memories are made like this

Go now, she said
you've done more than enough
more than I ever wanted you too-
go now and take some semblance of a sweet memory before it all gets too much
and you see more than I want you to
I love you like the daughter I never had
I love you profoundly
but-
go now,
you've done your part for me
your tidings I will cherish and take with me into my next life-
where beauty awaits
and those who left so long ago
will welcome me with open arms-
go now, she said
