Memories

Remember when

It started.

Of course you wouldn’t.

I don’t either,

But I remember

when we first caught a firefly.

Oh, how it glowed with hope

Of a future to love

But when I got to that future

You were gone

My days got blurry

I couldn’t see

What was good or bad

I was afraid to make a choice

So I kept my eyes closed

and let them led the way

They took your place

Through them I found

I don’t remember, but it was better

Than doing it alone

But I‘m not happy

I’m not depressed

I don’t have the right to be

But I’m not happy

Why did you leave me?

You’re right, I left you.

You hate me. I hate me.

I’ve done nothing but blame you.

So why are you still here?

To tell me how you wish I was died.

Well, I’m mad I’m still alive.

You love me?

You forgive me?

How! After everything I’ve done!

Oh, I see that’s why.

Then can you help me,

Love myself as you do?

Remember when

You helped me grow?

Yeah, I do too.
