Remembering You

When I remember you

I think of our time together

Not the time that’s lost forever

Crashing waves on the shore

Our footprints left in the sand

As we ran hand-in-hand

At the time

We did not know where this would go

But as long as we were together

In that time and place

We were as happy as could be

When I remember you

I think of our time together

Not the time that’s lost forever

Noisy people all around

The crowded market place was full

But I felt alone with you

Walking past the shop windows

Weaving through the sea

Of people who weren’t you and me

In that time and place

We were as in love as could be

When I remember you

I think of our time together

Not the time that’s lost forever

A romantic walk under the neon lights

After the perfect dinner, you proposed

We didn’t see the speeding car

Just as he didn’t see us

Screeching tires, my blood-curdling scream

A blinding light engulfed by darkness

In that time and place

I was as devastated as could be

When I remember you

I think of our time together

Not the time that’s lost forever

Countless flowers strewn across your grave

My flowing tears were the only sound

There is no one but me around

As a butterfly comes and lands on my arm

In your favorite shade of blue

And I know that it could only be you

In this time and place

I am as peaceful as could be

When I remember you

I think of our time together

Not the time that’s lost forever
