Until the Day That You Forget

There's a quietness in your room
Empty of your step
Filled with memories and love
Until the day that you forget

As you erase me from your mind
You didn't mean to be unkind
Through our memories we connect
Until the day that you forget

I struggle to remember
All the things we didn't say
I struggle to remember
Who you were before today

Until the day that you forget
Who I am and why I came
I struggle to remember
Why we have the same name.

There's a quietness in your room
Empty of your step
Filled with memories and love
Until the day that you forget
