Remember Me...

Remember me…
when I leave
and never return...as a chapter that refused to fade...
ink pressed deep into the pages of your life...

Remember me as the setting sun, gone from your sky, but painting the horizon with colors you cannot forget...

And when loneliness finds you...
when anxiety slips quietly beside you...
and the two sit with you in silence…
remember me...

When the silence in your home feels like an empty room in your own chest... Remember me...

Remember me...
not for the ending,
but for the way we once began...
For the laughter that filled empty spaces,
for the warmth that made time forget itself,
for the love that asked for nothing
but to be felt...

Remember the foundation... Remember the story we built, stone by loving stone...

There will be moments,
I know there will,
when my absence echoes louder than my presence ever did... Moments heavy
and fragile with regret...

When your heart searches for someone it cannot hold...
remember me...

When you wander back into the dreams of what was,
when yesterday feels closer than today,
when the sun no longer feels like it belongs on your skin
and the world turns a little colder without reasons …
when I become invisible in your present,
remember me...

Remember the fire,
not the ashes.
The touch,
not the distance.
The love,
not the silence that followed...

So remember me…
not as a loss,
but as a love that happened,
fully, deeply,
and forever
a part of you...
Carl Nicolas.
