So many things I've said.
So much i have left to say.
But I don't think I have enough time
to find the words that keep getting lost along the way.
Don't be afraid if I forget who I am today
because I still remember who we were yesterday.
I remember the nights by the fire with a bottle of wine.
I remember the the day you said you'd be mine.
I remember all the years we were young, wild, free.
I remember all the dreams we had
of how great our kids' future would be.
I remember the love. I remember the fights.
I remember the summers on the island
watching the fireworks light up the night.
Even if it doesn't show, there's one thing I need you to know.
I remember
i wrote this for my aunt who has struggled with my uncle's fight with alzheimers

I am told to love you with all I am.
I fail you yet you don't tell me to scram.
I break your heart over and over since my first breath.
Still for me you put your own son to death.
No matter how far i run you will always chase.
Even though when you want to talk i put my finger in your face
Every sin that i am ever to commit.
On the cross you took the blame for it.
You given me all i have even though i didn't ask.
You are the only one that saw me without my mask.
You still love me even though you know my past.
I have to know are you actually the real.
i am putting all my hope and i can't be left here with all i feel.

— The End —
