Remembering Myself

I’ve forgotten only what I want to remember
I’m trying so hard to recall that September
When we were building the world anew
You saw everything in me, and I in you.
 
You taught my eyes and mind to see
A world, the same, but differently
You showed me how to trust myself
Instead of trying to be someone else.
 
And though you saw that me so clearly
And helped me to try to simply be
You didn’t see what was before you
Or the entirety of what you signed up for
 
Now I know I must remember
And blow to life hope’s dying ember
There is so much that I’ve forgotten of that fall
The Good, along with all that I don’t wish to recall
 
I’ve forgotten the smiles, both mine and yours
Yet I remember the goodbyes, all the more
All of the big things, small things, and more
I remember the sorrow and have forgotten the joy
 
I know you’re still out there!
And I wonder, am I?
I wonder what happens after goodbye?
 
Do you remember,
Can you remind me?
What do I do…
when only sorrow finds me?
 
Tell me my friend,
Help me remember
I need to find my way back
To the me of September
 
Soon the leaves will change my friend
Can I build that world again?
And be the person I want to remember
And find my way back to the me of September
 
I think that you know
Can you remind me?
What do I do
To remember, to find me?
 
Once you opened my eyes anew
And showed me a world I never knew
But then you disappeared so fast
And I crashed right back into the past.
I found myself lost within a dream
My consciousness, a memory stream
 
And I miss you when the skies are light
And I miss you when they’re dark
 
I want to be that me again
I wish you would remind me
I’ll try to be that me alone
I hope that I can find me
