*ZAYNS POV* 

I lay in my bed strumming the guitar. I got to say, Niall is a pretty good teacher. He taught me to play the guitar and I have to say i'm not bad. I hear the door open and look up to see Emma slowly walking in. 

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt." she says quietly. 

"You didn't," I sit up, "Come here." I say.

She skips over to me and sits on my bed next to me. We lay back against the head rest of the bed. 

"You sing?" she asks me as I strum the guitar. 

I chuckle, "Yes."

"Sing to me." she whispers. 

I felt a déjà vu moment when she said that. It was like the time I sang "I Won't Give Up" to her. 

"What should I sing?" I ask.

"Anything." she whispers and lays her head against my shoulder.

I start strumming the guitar to the melody of "Moments." I don't usually sing our songs acoustically, but I thought that maybe this once I would try.

Shut the door

Turn the light off

I wanna be with you

I wanna feel your love

I wanna lay beside you

I cannot hide this

Even though I try

Heart beats harder

Time escapes me

Trembling hands

Touch skin

It makes this harder

And the tears stream down my face

If we could only have this life

For one more day

If we could only turn back time

You know I’ll be

Your life

Your voice

Your reason to be

My love

My heart

Is breathing for this

Moment

In time

I’ll find the words to say

Before you leave me today

Close the door

Throw the key

Don’t wanna be reminded

Don’t wanna be seen

Don’t wanna be without you

My judgment's clouded

Like tonight's sky

Hands are silent

Voice is numb

Try to scream out my lungs

It makes this harder

And the tears stream down my face

If we could only have this life

For one more day

If we could only turn back time

You know I’ll be

Your life

Your voice

Your reason to be

My love

My heart

Is breathing for this

Moment

In time

I’ll find the words to say

Before you leave me today

Flashing lights in my mind

Going back to the time

Playing games in the street

Kicking balls with my feet

There’s a numb in my toes

Standing close to the edge

There’s a pile of my clothes

At the end of your bed

As I feel myself fall

Make a joke of it all

You know I’ll be

Your life

Your voice

Your reason to be

My love

My heart

Is breathing for this

Moment

In time

I’ll find the words to say

Before you leave me today

You know I’ll be

Your life

Your voice

Your reason to be

My love

My heart

Is breathing for this

Moment

In time

I’ll find the words to say

Before you leave me today.

She smiles and says, "Your a really good singer, you should really think about going professional or something."    

I chuckle and say, "Emma, i'm in a band."

"I'm assuming I forgot that too." she says.

"I guess so." I reply.

"Sorry." she mutters.

She sinks her head down into my chest. I kiss the top of her head.

"Zayn?" she says.

"Mhmmm?" I murmur back.

"Do you think I will ever regain my memory?" she asks.

"I don't know, Em." I pause. "I hope so, but if not. I'm not afraid to start over."

I finally realized that I wasn't afraid to start over. I would do anything for her to regain her memory. But if she didn't the only other way for her to fall in love with me again was to start over.
