I try to remember

I try so hard to remember
what it was like to lay inside your arms
knowing deep inside
that you'd protect me from harm

I forget sometimes how I felt
when you told me you loved me
that together we were perfect
you knew we were meant to be

I try so hard to remember
the laughs we always had
that smile on your face
which meant I couldn't make you sad

I've forgiven all your faults
I'd erase all that you've done
but I forget how much I love you
because you've been gone for so long

I hope I never forget
when you looked into my face
I knew deep down you meant
that I could never be replaced

I want to remember how I it felt
when you used to look at me
I knew deep down you saw
what no one else could ever see.
