I remember

Way back when

You and I first became friends

Life was just a play pretend

For you and I, there was no end

Subtle, sudden, stupid, trouble

When did it become more than that?

When did I become a devil in your eyes?

And you, an angel in mine?

When did I become captivated in your smile?

And you, in my lies?

Remember, Remember

I warned you away

But I followed you along, entrapped in your ways

Remember, Remember

Love letters in the sand

Washed away before the day even began

Remember, Remember

A thousand secrets whispered in the night

When the wind blows, they all take aflight

Remember, Remember

Mind full of Memories

And a Heart full of Regrets

I digress from my true purpose

And as I egress, I neglect

To elect a reason to keep focused

On things I find worth it

Breathe slow and Remember

That one day these futile struggles

Will be worthless.
