Blue Skirt Memories

That blue skirt hangs beside the door Like time forgot to leave. It still remembers Saturday nights And all we used to believe. We danced beneath the county stars While the jukebox played so slow. Back when forever felt so close, And love was all we knew. Some clothes grow with time. Some wear the memories forever. Blue skirt memories Still twirl around my soul. Every stitch holds yesterday. Every thread won't let go. Though the music finally faded And your footsteps disappeared, Blue skirt memories Still dance from year to year. The mirror caught my younger smile Without a single fear. Now it sees a wiser woman Still grateful to be here. The porch light glows at sunset. The fireflies fill the air. I smile instead of crying now Because your love was there. The past is just a photograph. The heart decides the frame. Blue skirt memories No longer make me cry. They remind me I was lucky To love beneath that sky. Every tear became a lesson. Every lesson set me free. Blue skirt memories, a part of who I'll Always be. I fold that skirt with gentle hands And place it on the shelf, Not to hide away my story, But to honor my true self. If another dance should find me, I'll gladly take the floor. Love may look a little different, But I'll still believe once more. Oh. Oh. Blue skirt memories Shine brighter the pain. The love that couldn't stay forever Still wasn't lived in vain. I keep dancing through tomorrow With hope inside my heart. Blue skirt memories Will never keep us apart. The record spins one final time. Mm. The stars begin to glow. Mm. The blue skirt sways in the evening breeze. Mm. And my heart lets gratitude show. Mm.
