I Hope You Don'T Forget Me

Thirteen years old when you started to forget, first little things, from losing your keys and not knowing your way home, to not remember your own father's name, my heart fills with regret, and I watch from afar as your mind starts to roam. At school, they taught me that humans are the greatest species, but how can we say that when our minds are so weak, I sometimes tend to wonder what exactly she sees, Whether our minds crumble to dust along with this physique. You got mad at the simplest things. When grandpa asked for tea, you nearly up and left. Your mind was held together by staples and strings, our little moment's fallen victim to theft. Two years have gone, and your memory continues to deteriorate, my thoughts are filled with you, and the tears wet my face, every moment I spend with you I've learned to appreciate. Grandma, I wonder how long is it till I’m erased Till I become no more than a vague image to you, even the thought of this makes me blue. But I’ll stay strong and hold on as tight as I can, live life to the fullest and keep smiling though it's hard, even though we are different now from when we began, I'll continue to love even if it leaves me scarred.
