Remember the past?

The past love and laughs.

The past mistakes and regrets.

Remember?

Remember the past?

How we fought to be someone.

How we fought to forgive.

And to forget.

Remember?

Remember the past?

We tried to keep it there.

We tried to be better than that.

We tried.

Remember?

Remember the past?

How the memory stung.

How we kept the ashes.

And we scattered the notes.

Remember?

Remember the past?

How we got lost in thought.

How we wrote down our feelings.

Unwillingly.

Remember?


Remember the past?

It was a blur.

It was nothing.

It was everything.

Remember?

Remember the past?

We authored our epic.

We narrated our music.

We scripted our fate.

Remember?

Remember the past?

How the tears burned.

How the heart broke.

How we choked on our words.

And cried.

Remember?

Remember the past.

How we overcame and broke through.

How we believed in ourselves.

How we fought.

For our freedom.

Remember.

Remember the past.

How we prayed until we screamed.

How we set our eyes on the prize.

And ran the race of life.

Remember.

Remember the past.

How we liberated our hearts.

How we embraced our calling.

And we moved forward.

And fought.

With confidence.

Remember.

Remember the past.

How we looked at our trials.

How we looked at the stars.

As the shore broke at night.

And we laughed.

And we smiled.

Remember.

Remember the past.

The promise.

The race.

The crown of glory.

If we persevere.

Remember.

remember…

Remember,

Remember.

REMEMBER!!!

Remember the past?

And how dreamed again.

How we believed again.

How we overcame again,

Victoriously.

Remember!!!

Remember.

Remember,

remember…
