I Couldn't Forget You If You Begged Me To

Don't think I've forgotten about you.

You've been burned into my heart by a raging fire,

I couldn't forget you if you begged me to.

Your tears and mine, like a river through time,

Carved a canyon so deep through my soul,

I remember you with every breath and every rhyme.

It's a huge comfort to see you laughing, smiling,

The way you did before I let you down,

Before all the pain and all the crying.

I don't know who he is, but he's good for you,

I've never seen you glowing so gloriously.

I hope he loves you as much as I still do.

I hope you don't think I hate you;

I walked right passed you like you weren't even there;

I thought that it was the right to do.

I was afraid that if I said hello

You would remember all the hurt and pain,

Which are feelings I hope never again know.

But please don't think I've forgotten you.

You were the oxygen I breathed for several years,

I couldn't forget you if you begged me to.
