I cannot forget you not today or ever
I can’t let go of what held us together
A soft gentle touch on the side of my face
Your hot burning kisses that last for days
A candle light dinner, underneath the stars
Soft gentle hands, oil, and a massage
Trying to let go within myself
But memories of you is all that’s left

Bodies melting together on summer’s night
Burning desires taking me to new heights
Flowers and pictures hanging on the wall
Pride always comes before a great fall
Never not ever got over your death
Memories in my heart is all that’s left

Your face rotating in my mind on repeat
To many nights without enough sleep
Holding on to something I’ll never get back
Your shirts and ties on the table in a stack
Seeing your shadow passing in the night
Quickly floating out of my sight

Wondering about some of the things you said
Hurting, remembering you while crying in bed
When I thought I couldn’t do anything right
Your comfort made everything shine so bright
I will not give you up, no one should dare try
To make me forget or even say goodbye
Everything you were I’ll keep to myself
And realize that of you
Memories is all I have left
