I forget
The days I’d seen go by,
And what they meant to me,
The words you give me now,
As I’d heard them the first time.
I forget
What it was like
And how simple things had been
Before the child they’d always praised
Became the very things they’d hated,
The things within themselves,
That they thought were dead,
And tried to kill in me.
You don’t know
What it means to me,
What you’ve done,
Knowing someone cares,
And giving me something
That I will never,
Ever
Forget.
