Memory

Thinking of the past,
you come to mind.
I remember happy times,
and more memories come to mind.

Parties, movies, everything was so great.
Always arriving home when it was late.
One thing that I always use to hate,
you drank alcohol, which later became your fate.

You are gone.
I can see.
Time has passed,
but you will remain a memory.
