Analysis of Memories Of You



My memories of you are caricatures of fun
Compared to all others
you are number one

My memories of you are statuettes of mood
Compared to all others
you are comfort food

My memories of you are portraitures of art
Compared to all others
you are off the chart

My memories of you are figurines of grace
Compared to all others
you are winning ace

My memories of you are silhouettes of skin
Compared to all others
you are carnal sin

My memories of you are monuments of joy
Compared to all others
you are a lifebuoy

My memories of you are ornaments of love
Compared to all others
you are bliss above
