Melancholy Memories (what a title!!!)

The title says it all doesn't it? If I sit and fall into the trap of thinking about the past I go all pensive as faces, now long gone, drift past.

They all whisper a subdued hello as they shoot me a hollow glance before passing. Familiar all of them and none forgotten.

As they slowly dissipate into my mind I hear their cries of pain...

.....remember us Steve, don't let us be forgotten.

and I shed a tear as I promise them all...never.
