Walking down a path I've walked so many times
It's all familiar; nothing has changed from last time
The same trees, same rocks, the same blue sky
The same sun shines above me through the same puffy clouds
My strides are the same as the last time I was here
My footprints make dents in the exact same spots
I am just as anxious as I was last time
I know what I'm approaching; it's all the same
I see it getting larger before me, the way it always does
That curved opening peeking through the green leaves
My heart starts beating quickly, but I'm used to the feeling
I pick up pace now, I can't wait;
I never can.
The best part now, it's coming
It never gets old; my feeling is always the same
3...2...1...there
You appear through the crevice, walking towards me
Your body welcomes me; the same way as always
I run into your arms, the way I always do
Breathe in your smell and soak in your warmth; it's all the same
I pull away and watch that same smile on your face grow
The way it does every time I walk down memory lane

4.)I walk down memory lane because I love running into you.
I guess I really took the literal meaning of the quote =P lol
Memories are usually the same every time we experience them...they're like stories we already know the ending to!

Brilliant
The rhyme at the end...
"Breathe in your smell and soak in your warmth; it's all the same
The way it does every time I walk down memory lane"
Is one of the best endings to a poem I've read...and it is so true...the memories will always be there...we remember them so much...it's like we live in them sometimes.
Such sweet poetry...and that memory will always be there to be had again...your love isn't gonna leave you. 9/10...very good luck in this contest...I smell a trophy.
