Fifty years down the road,
I hope I remember,
The long nights,
And the more than crazy fights.
When I've lived so long that my memories start to blur,
I hope i remember
The love we shared
And the way you cared.
looking back now, i think i would never forget, but thoughts slip my mind
And i hope i remember,
The long phone calls when we were apart,
And your love i felt, deep in my heart.
You may not be near to remind me, so i need a way to keep these memories close over the years,
Because i have to remember,
The connection we had,
And times both good and bad.
When I cant quite call to mind exactly how i felt, I hope i can take time to reminisce,
So I can remember,
The tears we shed
And things that went unsaid.
People come and go, friends lovers, neighbors, and acquaintances,
But you? I have to remember.
The walks on the beach,
Sweet kisses on my cheek.
If you ever have to leave me, whether it be your time or pure apathy,
The only thing i ask, is that i remember,
The charming smile,
And our laughing child.
If I think really hard and memories of you don't resurface, our time together will be lost forever
So IF I remember,
The romantic thoughts,
And feelings in my stomach like knots.
IF I can remember all of this, then i can begin all my stories with,
"Our first kiss"
