I Remember

I remember a faraway laugh, a sweet caress You'd help me zip up my dress I remember your arms around my neck 21 shells wrapped in my nest Endlessness, didn't last I won't change, given the chance And I remember no place for me to hide Before you came home at night I remember you turning out the lights All I ever saw was the red in your eyes No big surprise, happened nearly every night Your own flesh and blood, I did wonder why I remember not knowing what to say And how calm you had remained Your child stillborn with no name I remember the never ending summer rain Oh, please don't let what was Get in the way of what's next Don't forget, that what's to come hasn't come yet
