Never Forgotten You -

I’ve forgotten the answers to your questions.
and I’ve forgotten the feelings that you used to stir.
I’ve forgotten the stories that I wanted to tell you,
and that's what grieves me all the more.

I’ve forgotten to care about other people.
I’ve forgotten to care about what I do
I’ve forgotten to care about what they think,
But I’ve never forgotten you, just me.

I’ve forgotten how to cry, when I am supposed to.
I’ve forgotten how to laugh as well.
I’ve forgotten how to feel emotions.
But I remember how you’ve made me feel.

I’ve forgotten that the sky was blue,
and that the grass is greener in the summer
and I’ve forgotten; how the trees used to bloom,
and how I’d play all day in their petals.
I’ve forgotten lots of things…
But I’ve never forgotten you.

I’ve never forgotten how you used to smile,
or how I used to make you laugh.
But I’ve forgotten how I used to dance,
and how you loved me all the more, for that.
I remember how you’d forget your jacket,
as an excuse just to cuddle up,
but I’ve forgotten how the cold used to feel,
when you stole it on our winter walks.
I’ve forgotten lots of things…
But I’ve never forgotten you.

I’ve forgotten how to be myself again;
You took that away, when you left.
and I’ve forgotten how to pray to God again,
but I’ve never forgotten Him.

I’ve forgotten how to make a joke, again.
my laugh dies away in the silence.
but I remember how I didn’t care -
that I should be embarrassed by it.

But I’ve never forgotten you, just me.
You took the wrong personality.
You packed mine in your suit, when you walked away,
leaving yours to fill my empty body.

And it doesn’t fit. 
You don’t fit inside me like this, only beside me - I can’t live like this -
and it’s not me I miss, it’s YOU.
Because you’re the only one of us I can remember enough to love.

L-O-V-E
The only feeling that still seems to haunt me.
Come back, please!
I’ve forgotten a lot of things,
but I’ve never forgotten this need.
I’ve never forgotten you, or this crazy feeling
I just need you to bring back, ME.

I just need you to bring back, me.
