(you made me feel)

I'll forget

(the exact words,

too many to remember)

(I wish I wouldn't,

I want to have you with me

always)

what you said.

 

I'll forget

(if we shared lunch

or went downtown

or looked at those mushroom overalls,

did I just know you would love them,

or did you tell me?)

(will I ever be able

to tell people

about the days

I know we spent together,

but can't remember)

what we did.

 

But I'll never forget

(reluctance)

(stubborn)

(sad,

not like I'm used to,

I can't tell you

the way the tears are always there

the way my heart is never as light as it was)

(helpless,

I'm not good at helpless,

but I'm not a doctor,

not a scientist,

can't drive you there,

can't pay for it,

I can just try to make you smile one more time)

(happiness,

it comes in bursts,

bubbles coated in sad,

but sometimes I forget

and it's just you me and

snow or dirt or leaves or movies or walking or eating)

(I better

never forget)

the way you made me feel

(you made me feel)
