about

When someone you love passes, how do you move on? Everything reminds you of the time you shared, the places you’ve been, especially the little things that seemed so insignificant at the time.

lyrics

Forgotten… Gone

Your morning coffee is growing cold.
Your shoes still linger by the kitchen door.
And in the closet, the scent of your clothes…
Reminds me…

Your empty pillow… The book half-read,
Lies on the nightstand… Were words unsaid?
It all reminds me… Have I’ve forgotten…
That you’re gone.

Yes, I forget that you’re no longer here.
Yes, I forget: your memory’s so clear
Yes, I forget that I’ve forgotten that you’re gone.
Now I forget to carry on

That leaky faucet… Its gentle drip
Rain on the window: pain… Your fingertips…
And I remember, through swirls of fog….
That you’re gone.

Did I just hear your voice whisper in my ear?
And when I close my eyes, you seem so near.
I think I see you… corner of my mind.
I turn to look at you… my senses die.
I think, when you look down on me,
That I seem to have forgotten…
That you’re gone.

I keep forgetting that you’re gone.
I keep forgetting that you’re gone.
