Remember Me

Please doll, remember me
Remember how it used to be
the love we shared, the laughs, the tears
And all the good times in those early years

Our  challenges were great from the very start
And we endured through all the strife
Without a doubt you stole my heart
And with you I would share my life

I choose to remember the best of things
The hard work, the kids
The joy they would bring
The successes we shared
The trips to the dunes
The friends, the fun, it all ended too soon

Most of all I remember the little things
While holding hands the wind would sing through the trees in the mountains where we would stay
The quiet talks by the fireside after a long day of play
Just hanging out together, even trips to the store
these are the things on which my mind dwells more and more

The sound of your voice, the feel of your breasts as we embrace in a hug
You held tight to my chest
Your soft touch, your smile, the smell of your hair
The simple gestures that made me so aware
Of how much I loved you and how much I cared,

But as the years rolled on,  the dream started to fade
Lifes getting tougher
Promises made
And broken again
Slowly degrading, the love that we had
Replaced with disappointment and feelings so bad

Through loss and hard times
Hearts became hard
Bitterness settled in
Emotions were scarred

We drifted apart
Abandoned our faith
We let bitter walls grow
Sin swept in like a wraith

Like a  thief in the night,
The darkness crept in
Something has changed
I can feel it in the air
An ugly truth, a sinful affair

The ensuing year after your truth was told
Took its toll and made me cold
We've floundered about
In some no man's land
Fully committed to nothing
Like shifting sand
Our foundation has become
And the reality that I'm no longer "the one"

And through all your deceiving, I kept on believing
There might be a chance
So I hung onto hope, I stayed in the game
I fought hard for you in spite of the shame
I hoped and I prayed and for you I still long
But in the end
Youe love for him was too strong

So here we are
At the end
I've lost my wife
I've lost my best friend

I hope his love goes deeper than skin
Like the love I have that burns deep from within
And when the dust finally settles and allows you to see
All I ask is that you remember ME
