Never Forget

I’ll never forget how you smiled,
I’ll never forget your funny laugh,
I’ll never forget how just for a while,
You were the paving to my path.

I’ll never forget your silly habits,
I’ll never forget how this feels,
I’ll never forget why I fell to bits,
You were the apple to my peel.

I’ll never forget the touch of your fingers,
I’ll never forget how I felt complete,
I’ll never forget how your sweet smell lingers,
You were the sour to my sweet.

I’ll never forget those early mornings,
I’ll never forget your hazel eyes,
I’ll never forget the realisation dawning,
You were the truth to my lies.
