[Chorus]
I won't abandon you
But I must remember me
Though we part ways, please don't give up
Remember our memories
Just promise me
[1st verse]
I will always love you, but I just cannot stay
I wish we could've had together one more day
But fate has taken over us, and we don't have a choice
I tried to hold on for so long, but you didn't hear my voice
[Chorus]
I won't abandon you
But I must remember me
Though we part ways, please don't give up
Remember our memories
Just promise me
[2nd Verse]
I would've tried much harder, if you had done the same
Now it's too late to change the past, because we're both to blame
And now we must move on from this, discover our own lives
Without each other we'll learn to survive
[Chorus]
And I won't abandon you
But I must remember me
Though we part ways, please don't give up
Remember our memories
Just promise me
[Chorus Repeat]
I won't abandon you
But I must remember me
Though we part ways, please don't give up
Remember our memories
Just promise me
Author notes
I like it; for the 2nd song I've ever written, I don't think it's too shabby. Sarah McLachlan's "I Will Remember You" is the song I was singing while writing it. It can be interpreted in different ways:
1) Lost love (possibly a breakup)
or 2) a lost friendship (where two friends grow apart)
I wrote from the heart on this one. I've lost many friends for reasons I still don't know and/or understand, but I've had to learn to move on to prevent falling apart--without forgetting the happy memories I had with those friends. I will always be grateful to them for those memories, and I hope that someday we can be friends again....

Ahh, very true write here. You have to remember to do for you, before you can do for ANYONE else. Great job, and for a second song, yep, not too shabby. Thank you for your entry!!
