If I Forget You

My love, if I forget you
When my mind decides to go
If my kisses disappear
And conversations slow

If your face is unfamiliar
And I don’t reach for your hand
Please know that I’m still here
Though not as I had planned

My love, if I forget you
And meet you once again
Make me fall in love with you
Just like you did back then

If I can’t recall our journey
And my smile fades away
Remember for the both of us
Remind me of the days

When you and I were lovers
In embraces soft and still
For my mind might forget you
But my heart never will
