I will remember.

My biggest fear is forgetting

So I will constantly replay your voice in my mind

Like a lullaby is sung to a weeping child.

My biggest fear is forgetting

So I will remember that moment three months ago

when the air felt like a warm hug

and our laughs were kisses from the sun.

My biggest fear is forgetting

So I will remember the moment you told me about your hopes and dreams

and how the stars were shining in your eyes.

My biggest fear is forgetting

And so my mind is sacred

and my soul even more.

My biggest fear is forgetting

But if someone were to ask me

I’d still tell them I’m terrified of the dark.
