Reminiscing on a loved one
A track I wrote for my best friend after he had to let go of a great friend in his life.
Don't Forget Me

Verse 1:
Why does separation
Have to hurt so much
Devoid of ya voice
Be thinkin' bout ya touch
Like a part of me's destroyed
Til my heart won't beat right
Eyes closed to not cry
Just won't see light
I delight in thoughts
Of times that were ours
Reclined under a night sky
Gazin' at stars
Don't want to come forward
Cause you are not there
And having to let go of you
Was not fair
Only remnants of ya presence is here
in my mind, I can see you clear
Even as you draw near
A smile in my eyes
I Whisper in ya ear
Words that echo
and bring me to tears
So sincere sayin'...
Hook:
When you close ya eyes
I hope you see mine
I hope you'll be fine
So far away
Don't forget About
the promise you made
To be straight
Until we see each other again
Don't forget me, Plz
Don't forget me plz
You know I'll do anything...so please
Verse2:
Don't forget how we played
Made these days go so fast
Be lyin' if I said I wasn't hurt
I know that
Life without you is a fight without rules
I'm beating myself
Cause I don't know what else to do
I'm so through and it's so true
You just don't know
Where to turn to or go
When you're gone, I'm alone
So alone in my soul
That the hole and control
Was swallowed by hurt
Cause I can't let go
What are you doin' right now
It's all good is what I hope
Even as I sit broken
I want you to grow and know
Another level
Of happiness fa sho
Cause you deserve only that
From the blessin' I've known
What you've shown is acceptance
Unconditional-love
No rejection, so we learned our lessons
And roles, so forever more,
You'll be a part of me
Memory goin' straight to the heart of me
Please..
Hook:
When you close ya eyes
I hope you see mine
I hope you'll be fine
So far away
Don't forget About
the promise you made
To be straight
Until we see each other again
Don't forget me plz
Don't forget me plz
You know I'll do anything...so please
Verse3:
I had my mind made up
To this time and gave up
And while it may just
Be for a time, I'm laid up
Thinkin' why and what if
As if I could change up
What I feel right now
that I know it ain't us
No more
For whatever time
Is no more
And for that
No amount of comfort
Can override
The throwback
I know that I'll be all right
Eventually
But mentally, I'm simply
In a place of hurt
I never thought meant for me
So the only thing
That interests me
Are thoughts of you
Definitively a part of me
I need you like an artery
Oughtta be a crime
To ever have to be so far apart
Knowing the pain it
Can bring to ya Heart
Hook:
When you close ya eyes
I hope you see mine
I hope you'll be fine
So far away
Don't forget about
the promise you made
To be straight
Until we see each other again
Don't forget me plz
Don't forget me plz
You know I'll do anything...so please
