I remember..

Lyrics

I remember when you called

And I ran away

Oh how different it would be

If you called today

I shouldn’t have told you

There was nothing to say

Because there was everything

To be said

I remember when you called

And I hung up the phone

Oh look how it’s turned out

I’m here all alone

I shouldn’t have acted

Like I was made of stone

Because there was everything

To be felt 

I remember when you walked

And I watched you go

Oh how I wish I’d closed my eyes

Now it haunts me so

I shouldn’t have acted

Like you moved so slow

Because there was everything

Passing by

I remember when you died

And how you were gone

Oh how suddenly I felt

Like there’d be no dawn

Some days I still live

Like I can’t carry on

Because there’s been nothing left

After you

This is gorgeous.

I have to point out my favorite line: "Like I was made of stone Because there was everything To be felt"

This is beautifully cadenced and really made me sad... which I think is fantastic. I can't help but think this was fueled by a personal experience, and for that I am sorry. But it is those painful seeds that yield beautiful fruits such as this piece.

WELL done.
