Will You Remind Me
When I start to forget
When minutes merge into seconds
When hours seem to stand still
When I can no longer remember
Will you be my memory?
Will you make reminders for me?
Will you set alarms so I know when?
Will you be there to whisper what I desperately search for in my mind but cannot grasp?
Will you remind me all,
When I start to forget?
When I lose things and I don't remember how
When I leave things but don't remember where
When I mean to say something and I have forgotten what
When I have to choose but cannot for I don't know which
Will you remind me?
Days fade into hours
I have lost all count of time
It has become blurry and misty
I can't make sense of things I used to know
Memories are slipping away
Your face is but a silhouette in my mind
I can only make out the images of you
You are like a shade, a shadow
I see you are there but I don't know you
I can't remember you
And if I forget you
What sense is it then of this existence?
When I can no longer remember my name
When I have forgotten who I am
How do I continue to exist?
