ECHOES OF YOU

[Verse 1] You smiled this morning like you always do, Said, “You're still my favorite view.” We danced in socks on the kitchen floor, Just like we used to. [Chorus 1] But then you looked at me… Like I was someone passing through. You said, “Forgive me—what was your name?” Like it was something new. I am Time, and you are Memory, Slipping quiet through the seams. You're right beside me every day— But only in my dreams. [Verse 2] You sit and stare at photo frames, Your fingers linger on our wedding day. You whisper, “They look so in love,” Like it’s someone far away. [Chorus 2] You ask me if I have someone, And I say, “I once did… and I still do.” You smile and say, “She must’ve been lucky.” I smile, just to hide the truth. I am Time, and you are Memory, Drifting like a fragile tune. The world forgets, but I hold on— To the echoes of you. [Bridge] I’ll be the stranger who stays, The face you don’t know but still trust. I’ll love you like I always have— Even when you can’t love back as us. [Final Chorus] I am Time, and you are Memory, Fading slow, but still you breathe. You’ve let go of all our yesterdays— So I’ll remember them for both of us. I loved you every day you forgot me, And I still do. You may not know my face, But I’ll never stop hearing… The echoes of you. Note: This song is a tribute to all those who selflesscare for a loved one who is suffering from a memory disease. May God grant them his love, strength, and courage every single day!
