How Could I Forget You

 

“The heart aches,
but it brings me closer to you,
as you are the one who have caused it.

They say love would heal,
but love makes me feel closest to you,
tell me sweetheart,
how could I forget you?

Inside this chamber of mine,
I have seen some cracks,
for the light to come inside,
to beat darkness…
and light, reminds me of you.
Tell me, sweetheart…
how could I forget you?

You have departed,
but you may as well, the arrival of my ink.
Tell me, sweetheart…
how could I forget you?”
