If I Forget

 If I forget to tell you just how much you mean to me,

I hope that you will remember while you're not here with me.

If I forget to tell you that you are my world and more,

I hope that you will remember what I am waiting for.

If I forget to tell you I want you in my life,

I hope that you will remember that I am always by your side.

If I forget to tell you I love you more than words,

I hope that you will remember regardless of the hurt.

If I forget to tell you I am sorry for my mistakes,

I hope that you will remember with every one I make.

If I forget to tell you no other can compare,

I hope that you will remember the love that we both share.

If I forget to tell you I miss you everyday,

I hope that you will remember your absence causes pain.

If I forget to tell you that forever is what I want,

I hope you will remember that forever is what we have got.

Whether I say these words to you, or wait until you are here with me,

I will show you this forever,

and these words will have no need.
