It Hurts to Remember

It hurts to remember, but it will be worse to forget
The last time we spoke, the words I wish I'd never said
The laughter we shared, the memories now in my head
The ache of your absence, the grief that remains unsaid.

It hurts to remember, but it will be worse to forget
The way you smiled, the way you laughed, the way you'd fret
The dreams we had, the plans we made, the future we'd never get
The pain of losing you, the sorrow that I can't forget.

It hurts to remember, but it will be worse to forget
The way you used to hold my hand, the way you'd always be there
The way you'd listen, the way you'd care, the way you'd show you'd dare
The emptiness that remains, the longing that I cannot share.

It hurts to remember, but it will be worse to forget
The way you'd make me laugh, the way you'd always know
The way to make me feel better, the way to make me glow
The silence that remains, the emptiness that grows.

It hurts to remember, but it will be worse to forget
The way you'd look at me, the way you'd always see
The best in me, the good in me, the beauty in me
The way you'd love me still, even in my imperfections, you'd see.

It hurts to remember, but it will be worse to forget
The way you'd always be there, the way you'd never forget
The way you'd support me, the way you'd always be true
The pain of losing you, the grief that I'm going through.

I'll hold on to the memories, despite the pain they bring
For to forget would be worse, and lose the love we had in everything
Though it hurts to remember, I'll cherish every moment we shared
For in the end, it's the love that remains, and the memories that will always be spared.
