Remember...

Remember the love
That you once gave away;
That you held in your heart.
Do you remember that day?

Remember the feeling
Of affection for you;
Of complete attraction,
Between the two...

Remember the pain
That wells up inside;
That makes your gut twist,
And from which you can't hide.

Remember the thoughts
That shattered your mind;
That split you in two,
With words so unkind.

Remember the good things
That you have done,
Or that you have strived for,
Or that you have won.

Remember the love
That you'll always give,
And cherish its beauty,
So that you can live.
