I Remember

I remember the sounds from the hall and the books on the shelf,
i remember them all.
i remember the clock on the desk and the chair and the rug,
and all of the rest.
like the venetian blinds drawn shut,
the record playing over and over until dawn,
until the grooves had worn thin on that one song.
I remember thinking we were worlds apart
until i heard your words and it spoke my heart.
i remember thinking i was too far gone
and you reminded me that there is no such thing.
I remember a weight like lead crashing down on my hope,
thunder in my head.
i remember the pain, the spasm, the sense of lost
falling into a chasm
and the blinds drawn shut,
the record playing over and over
until dawn, until the grooves had worn thin
on that one song.
I remember thinking we were worlds apart
until i heard your words and it spoke my heart.
i remember thinking i was too far gone
and you reminded me that there is no such thing.
I remember
like it was yesterday
i remember
like it was yesterday
i remember
you're smile
i remember you touch, your voice
i remember, oh i remember
i remember thinking we were worlds apart
until i heard your words and they spoke my heart
i remember thinking i was too far gone
and you reminded me, you did, that's there no such thing
no such thing
