a round pink rock

we found on the beach

a ribbon in your hair

that you could not reach

a ticket stub to the movie

where we shared our first kiss

that special card i bought you

when our love was amiss

a poem on a napkin

i wrote to propose

the tissue that i cried in

when you said, 'no'

i close the box that holds

these memories from the past

reminders that love isn't

always meant to last
