Impressions fade

The faster we move, the quicker time seems to fly.

It races by as we try to hold onto memories that won't die.

But as quickly as they form,

impressions fade and memories rot.

And all that's left is a faint whisper of what we once thought.

The impermanence of life is a harsh reality

That we all must face in the end

Impressions fade and memories rot

But the love that we've shared will never die

It remains alive in our hearts always

It's only natural that time will take its toll,

erasing all but the most cherished moments.

As life carries on and we start to age

Our recollections may stay the same,

But the physical evidence begins to fade

Before our very eyes, bits and pieces disappear

Leaving us with nothing more than a notion

Of what once was, but can never be again
