Don’t think I don’t remember
Don’t think for a moment that I don’t think of you
That my mind doesn’t wander when I let my guard down.
Don’t think for a moment that I don’t think of you
That I don’t remember how once your arms felt like home
That I don’t remember how you promised me tomorrow.
Don’t think for a moment that I don’t think of you
That I don’t remember all the rainbows you brought into my life
That I don’t remember all the moments we would just lay there and laugh.
Don’t think for a moment that I don’t think of you
That I don’t remember the way you would gently encourage me to grow
That I don’t remember all the places you showed me that I had never been.
Don’t think for a moment that I don’t think of you
That I don’t remember the touch of your hand on my skin
That I don’t remember the taste of your lips.
Don’t think for a moment that I don’t think of you
That I don’t remember all the moments you broke me down
That I don’t remember your refusal to hold me when I needed it most.
Don’t think for a moment that I don’t think of you
That I don’t remember the judgement in your eyes that wasn’t even mine to behold
That I don’t remember your refusal to grow alongside me.
Don’t think for a moment that I don’t think of you
That I don’t remember how you criticized me for the very things you used to love
That I don’t remember how you suddenly stopped looking at me the same way.
Don’t think for a moment that I don’t think of you
That I don’t remember trying to fight for us
That I don’t remember the lack of explanation from you.
Don’t think for a moment that I don’t remember
That my mind doesn’t wander when I let my guard down.
