How do you remember me?

How do you remember me?
Smiling, laughing, fiercely loving?
Hurting, bleeding, helplessly looking
For you to help me, for your hand to pull me
Out of my head, out of my thoughts, into the light, from my dark

How do you remember me?
Like the one who made you fall in love with NewYork?
Busy nights, fun fights, and pretty lights?
Or the the empty streets, grey skies, and cold ice,
When the streets die, and you lie awake at night,
Fighting your head and your heart, fearing and seeking my love all your life.

How do you remember me?
The happy first dinner night?
Or the broken hearted apartment fight?
The fight that broke us, the fight that lost us;
To my pain, to my fears, to my hurt, to my heart.

How do you remember me?
As the great tragedy from your past?
One you wish you could erase from the pages of your book,
Or the love that you lost,
Combing the streets of NewYork for just one look?
