I once thought that I couldn't forget any of them

That any time my heart had been snatched away

I would remember

That it wouldn't be easy to walk away

And then I opened an old notebook

Another feeble attempt to try to record everything down to remember

And I saw a name I hadn't seen for years

My eyes widened as feelings flooded back in

When I said he wasn't worth thinking about

I never knew I was going to convince myself

And until that very moment

I had forgotten

Maybe it had been best left that way

Some bittersweet memories are painful

But you want to keep them close

Because you can smile through your tears

And remember the times you laughed

And now I am afraid that I will lose another

Another face

This one, I hold close to my heart

The mischievous blinking that still sears through my heart

Maybe it was the promise of tomorrow that keeps me holding on

Or the way it felt so right

I can still hear the words that passed our mouths

With no thought whatsoever

"I used to sing all the time."

"And then I grew up and went through puberty."

"My voice started cracking. So I stopped."

"The songs make me miss my childhood."

We could have our own song

Where you would be singing again

And I would try to sing along in my hoarse, out of tune voice

Hoarse because you make me laugh so much

It would have been our song

It would have been perfect to our ears.

I just need to write down the lyrics.

As long one of us is still singing,

The words will never fade to oblivion.

And let our song play forever.
