Losing our memories

Knock knock
Hey, open up
Open up and remember me

Remember me
Remember my smile
Yes, the one that was once etched to your head
My lips, and how they curl into a toothy grin
that has opened up differently in front of you

My eyes that cried as I watch the movie with you
My pitiful look, confused and damaged
The honesty of admitting my father was onto drugs
My sleepy eyes, my drunken glare, my presence you have eluded

Open up and don't forget

I know youre enjoying the time with other people
I know you're meeting new guys and think that you can have someone better than me
I know you are just trying to go away, yet still hoping I'd pursue you

Open up,
Even if I ignore you
Tell me what you have thought
Remember the last photo taken of us

Remember the college years
Yours might have ended,
and your story might have ended for me

Our story might have ended,

But never, ever foget
my younger self, our younger selves
As we lie together, sit together, hold hands and dream together

Those are not dreams
Those were real
And those were the best of "us"
that really is just you and me now.

You will never ever forget that you loved me
To the point that you wondered if you will ever love someone else like me
You will always tell our story,
your brokenheartedness, your tears, your longings

They will never end,
they will never leave
You will forever have that picture of me
In your heart.

You will never,
ever,
forget.

Until we both cease to exist
