Unable to remember
Yet unable to forget
This vexatious little burden
My woeful inability

I can feel just its presence
But I cannot conjure up
That shy little smile
That ran away from me

I'm unable to remember
Yet unable to forget
This vision of this single day
When the world had disappeared on me
and left me just a memory

It has faded, it is gone,
I am just completely lost
there is only me alone inside
this much too empty mind

And all I'd ever wanted then
was to see it once again
but never will I see
as the memory had died
and each and every tear I had
has already been cried
