Memory - Redemption

I still remember the sound of your voice calling out my name

And I still remember my face examining itself, knowing things would never be the same

I still remember your smiling face across a crowded room

And I still remember, through the weathering of time, that first embrace that

sealed our doom

Your eyes stare at me, from every storefront

And your voice calls to me from every restaurant

And your laughter pierces me as I stand beneath the open sky

And your absence murders me as I sleep perchance to die

Seems like to escape is what I ought to do But every road I take brings me back to you

I am frozen in the moment

Clinging to your memory

And I don’t

Want the ignorance that a spotless mind would bring

But I’m

Scared my dying breath may be your name

It’s just like I sang to you — everyone knows that we live in a world

Where people give bad names to beautiful things

And if it’s really true that people should leave once they’ve

Got what they came for, I certainly hope that you’re holding it close to you now

I still remember the sunlight on your face that warm November day

And I still remember, my heartbeat quickened by desire, unaware of prices I would pay

I still remember the closing door the night we said goodbye, and I still

Remember losing you for good and knowing that a part of me had died

And I still pray that things will be alright

And I pray you’ll think of me tonight

And I know somehow I’ll be alright and I hope that you’re the same…
