i will not forget you

The truest words of all.

I will not forget you.

You are the waking thought,

my sweetest memories, my dearest dreams.

I will not forget you.

You have touched my soul, opened my eyes, 

changed me very experience of the universe.

I will not forget you. I see you in the flowers,

the sunset, the sweep of the horizon,

and all things that stretch to infinity.

I will not forget you.

I have carved you on the palm of my hand.

I carry you with me forever.
