Dried leaf

Dried flowers only remind you
There is more to life 
Than beauty, which gradually fades
But what still stays alive
Is the moment which is with
Us as a memory which comes back.
They lose their colour or the fragrance
But dried flowers are found in pages for remembrance.
I remember the first time you gave that beautiful flower
While doing so you had said
Keep this with you
Till life does us apart.
Many years have gone by 
I still keep it with me
Telling you I still have the moment alive as a precious memory.
What still lingers on is the fragrance 
That in years did fade
But just a little flower started and an endless escapade.
It has given value to just a simple book on my rack
That I take out not to read
But feel and live the lovely moment back to back.
