Remember me as I stand

Remember me as I stand, as I fall, 
as I drift away from your thoughts.
Sullen and reckless, passionate and lustful.
The eyes so full of experience, so full of loss.
The sound of my voice in your ear.
The feeling of me near.
As you remember me holding you,
And you.
Remember me as I was, what I am?
As someone with you as the lights go out.
As the sun sets, as it rises.
A tree lives, as it dies.
Remember everything you can
In black, in white.
Remember...
