I hope you know I have amnesia
I don’t remember a thing you did.
Those times you put a smile on my face
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get rid of it.
I don’t remember any of it.

I hope you know I have amnesia.
I forgot about the place my heart held for you.
I don’t even remember your name.
Tony, Im trying to forget about you.

I hope you know I have amnesia.
I don’t remember the day you left.
All I remember is that you won’t come back.
I don’t remember your death….
I don’t remember any of it.
Tony, I can’t forget about you.

I really like it! Sorry about your loss. I noticed that we both had The Giver as our favorite books. Lois Lowry is really thought-provoking.

I'm sorry about you lost. But DAMN , that gave me goose bumps. That's my little theory that if i don't get goose bumps it wasn't good. But that... that was good. You should put more up and you can tell me when you put one up and I'll read and comment again.
