ECHOES OF YOU
[Verse 1]
You smiled this morning like you always do,
Said, “You're still my favorite view.”
We danced in socks on the kitchen floor,
Just like we used to.
[Chorus 1]
But then you looked at me…
Like I was someone passing through.
You said, “Forgive me—what was your name?”
Like it was something new.
I am Time, and you are Memory,
Slipping quiet through the seams.
You're right beside me every day—
But only in my dreams.
[Verse 2]
You sit and stare at photo frames,
Your fingers linger on our wedding day.
You whisper, “They look so in love,”
Like it’s someone far away.
[Chorus 2]
You ask me if I have someone,
And I say, “I once did… and I still do.”
You smile and say, “She must’ve been lucky.”
I smile, just to hide the truth.
I am Time, and you are Memory,
Drifting like a fragile tune.
The world forgets, but I hold on—
To the echoes of you.
[Bridge]
I’ll be the stranger who stays,
The face you don’t know but still trust.
I’ll love you like I always have—
Even when you can’t love back as us.
[Final Chorus]
I am Time, and you are Memory,
Fading slow, but still you breathe.
You’ve let go of all our yesterdays—
So I’ll remember them for both of us.
I loved you every day you forgot me,
And I still do.
You may not know my face,
But I’ll never stop hearing…
The echoes of you.
Note: This song is a tribute to all those who selflesscare for a loved one who is suffering from a memory disease. May God grant them his love, strength, and courage every single day!
