Remember

[.... on the loss of a lover]

There's a part of my heart
that will beat for you forever....
I would like to be able to forget you
to ease the pain....
.... but just knowing that you live
takes the pain away.

So I will remember you....
and remember the joy
that you brought to me

That will ease the pain
of losing what might have been

When we parted that day
I did not walk away on the ground.....
I floated away on bliss

.... and your words in the following days
filled my heart with joy
I have saved your words
... and I will keep your words for ever.

But clouds always follow sunshine
and sadness can often follow joy
So the happiness you bring
is a double sided gift....
Joy on the one side
and sadness on the other.

This gift you give to me...
will never fade as time goes on.

I will remember you....
.... and perhaps one day
... as you read these words again
.... you will remember me
and I will live again.... in your heart.
