"When you remember me, it means that you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are. It means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us. It means that if we meet again, you will know me. It means that even after I die, you can still see my face and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart.
For as long as you remember me, I am never entirely lost. When I'm feeling most ghost-like, it is your remembering me that helps remind me that I actually exist. When I'm feeling sad, it's my consolation. When I'm feeling happy, it's part of why I feel that way.
If you forget me, one of the ways I remember who I am will be gone. If you forget, part of who I am will be gone. "

REMEMBERING...
For a while, I felt alive.
You entered my life and brought sunshine
My days had been so dark and dreary
Nothing seemed to fit.
Then you opened me up and gave me a voice
At first I was afraid of your intent
But I learned to trust and believe in others through you
It was hard, but somehow I managed.
Each day I looked forward to seeing you,
Hearing from you
It was the highlight of my day
I guess you can’t relate to that…you are surrounded by people
All mine have gone.
Sometimes it’s too hard to trust…because I end up losing more each time
Pretty soon there won’t be anything left.
Maybe that would be a good thing,
Then I wouldn’t have any more to lose.
