I Try To Remember

As I look outside I see it’s raining again
I remember the times when we were still friends
I start to feel lonely my heart grows sad
I try to remember the good times we had.

I try to remember how I lost all control
Emptiness grew deep inside of my soul
I hope the sun returns to bring a little light
I have problems seeing in the darkness of night.

I try to remember and then I slip and forget
I want to live my life without the regrets
I try to drop some cards from the hand I was dealt
I try to remember just what it was I felt.  

I try to remember what I need to do
I drift aimlessly when I think of you
All of the laughter and happiness is gone
These become the things for which my heart longs.

I try to remember how I made it this far
I’ll just make a wish upon a shooting star
Over the rainbow will there be a pot of gold
As I look in the mirror another year old.

I try to remember my way back home
A place to feel comfort and not feel alone
I try to remember when the words were so kind
But it all seems to get lost inside of my mind.
