Analysis of I Remembered
I lay alone in my bed last night
Alone with my thoughts of you
I remembered brushing your warm brown hair
And your twinkling eyes of blue
I remembered your smile, how it lit up the room
Or at least lit a fire in my heart
I remembered how Christmas became like a game
And hiding your jewelry, an art
I remembered the music we made as a pair
The sweet songs of lovers in sync
I remembered the day the chain of our love
Was found to have a weak link
I remembered the good times as well as the bad
I remembered the pain that I caused
I remembered the day my pride forced me away
I remembered; then I paused
Could I take back words said in anger
Could I win back the heart that I broke
Would a love that was born in the depths of our youth
Be revived or just go up in smoke
I lay alone in my bed last night
Alone with my thoughts, then I knew
My life is an unfinished puzzle
The only piece missing is you
