Please don't forget me
My mind clouds and my thoughts are scrambled. And I struggling to remember
Please don't forget me
When I don't recognize your beautiful face or remember the name that I gave you. Remember for me.
Be patience with me
When I repeat myself, repeat myself.
When the past becomes my present
And I don't know the day, month or year.
Stay calm.
When the storm of emotions hit and frustration, anger and fear arises.
Remember that I love you, that will never change
Be strong
But don't hold it all in.
Let the frustrate, anger and tears flow
Grieve for the loss of what was and now is.
You are strong
And even tho I'm not the person I once was and will forget you.
Please don't forget me
