'Forgive, but dont Forget'

No matter how many times
I write this down
It cant make you come again
It can stop the sound
Of breaking down

No matter how often I forgive
I still cannot drown
I cant forget the look on your face
Before they placed you in the ground
Before they laid you down

And all im asking is for one little sign
And three simple words: are you alright?
One small response one little light
One more whisper before you say goodbye

Write these words down again
In your history book notes
Write down the words i said
And put you away in a box of hope
And send you far away from home

Now theres no remnents of you
Nothing to remind me
Just this simple shape of this urn
And the love im desiring
And the love im never getting

And all im asking is for one little sign
And three simple words: are you alright?
One small response one little light
One more whisper before you say goodbye
