This is a saying that is used loosely

One that signifies remembrance of the depth of someone's consciousness

To recollect the person that stands before you

To search through the files in our minds to figure out when we heard their voice

The moment we saw them in the vibrant dress they describe

To hear the laughs that were shared through inside jokes and empty bottles of wine

Drowning in doubt that

That this memory was never meant to come back to bite me

Memories are meant to teach us lessons to live through life

To know what to do next when we find ourselves in a difficult position

Not to remember someone's that upped and left

Left without another word to be said

To leave someone that they considered a friend

To then come back after all of these years

Out of nowhere

Without a warning of any kind

To come back into one's life

To use this phrase that is so nostalgic

But also, so traumatizing

Remember Me

Although it is painful to finally remember their name

It is a relief that they are now here to stay

The peace that suddenly washes over the body

To let you know it was okay

To be glad that they have asked you to "Remember Me"

Remember me when you are weak

To remember the strength that lies deep within

There is nothing wrong with giving in

But you should not forget the trials that you been in

The battles that have scarred you

The memories that have saved you

The hand taking hold of your body to ensure you break but only to bend

To remember the people

To remember the voices

To Remember me when these things seem too easy

Not just a saying

But a phrase that should be true to a human being
