Remember my tears
They were shed for the loneliness
That I saw around me
I tried to end the pain
But I did not have the power

Remember my laughter
It rang because of hope
That each new day brings
I tried to keep it all bright
But darkness always comes

Remember my words
I write them for forever
And nothing more
I tried to leave my mark
But stones chip, and water wipes away
The footprints in the sand

Remember my heart
It always beats behind my tale
That seeks to understand
I tried to be seeing
But I was always rendered blind

Remember my love
It has always been yours
It has never faded but has always grown stronger
I tried to tell you
But I cannot always speak

I love you
