Please Remember

 - Halper (c. 2004)

Please remember the warmth of the sun
The kiss of a new day begun.
And please remember the dreams that we dreamed
In spite of how far fetched they seemed.

Please remember the tears that we cried
Whenever I let you inside.
Please remember the touch of my hand
And the look that says “I understand”.

And hold onto the memories that hold us so dear.
Try to recall all those memories that linger so near
Right now and here.

Please remember breakfast in bed.
Our favorite team three runs ahead.
Please remember toes in the sand
And the look that says “I understand”.

Please remember – I know that you’re scared
Just know that I’ll always be there.
Please remember these memories we planned,
Your very best friend,
And the look that says “I understand”.
