I'll Never Forget

Part I
It was a day so perfect, one I’d always dreamt of. 
He took me in his arms and made me forget the past 
One kiss was all it took, one kiss to make the rest of the world disappear 
All that existed in those moments was the love we shared. 
But then it was all ripped away from me 
Torn away by the man I love, to keep me safe. 
To save my life he gave his own, something I’d willingly done for him, and would again. 
But now I must live with the memory of everything we could’ve had together, of what I have lost. 
He assures me I won’t remember, that the Fates have said he alone will carry the memories. 
My heart will never forget, I will never forget. 
The feeling of his warm skin beneath my own. 
The warmth of his breath on my face, the sound of his heart beating in his chest. 
I’ll Never Forget the love we shared this day. 
I’ll Never Forget.

Part II
Sometimes I wonder what could’ve happened if I had not given up my life. 
Could we have been happy? 
Could I have made her happy? 
She makes me happier than I deserve to be. 
How would my life be if I had never known her? 
She is my purpose, she is my soul. 
People write of love that will never die. 
I know it exists, for I have felt it. 
My love for her will continue even after I am gone, after we both are gone. 
Even after I have been told only I will remember, a part of me has hope that she will not forget. 
As she cries in my arms for what we have lost, I begin to regret. 
For what does my death matter if I am allowed to hold her again? 
As our time runs out, her words reach my ears, “I’ll Never Forget.” 
But only I will remember.
