Think of Me

Today, my awesome coworker brought the "Phantom of the Opera" soundtrack to listen to, knowing that I am a huge fan.  My heart melts as I listen to the words I used to love as a child, the notes which I would attempt to reach (before my voice changed).  The words themselves have much more meaning to me now that I am older and understand.

Think of me, think of me fondly,
when we've said goodbye.
Remember me once in a while -
please promise me you'll try.
When you find that, once again, you long
to take your heart back and be free -
if you ever find a moment,
spare a thought for me

We never said our love was evergreen,
or as unchanging as the sea -
but if you can still remember
stop and think of me . . .

Think of all the things
we've shared and seen -
don't think about the way things
might have been . . .

Think of me, think of me waking,
silent and resigned.
Imagine me, trying too hard
to put you from my mind.
Recall those days
look back on all those times,
think of the things we'll never do -
there will never be a day,
when I won't think of you . . .
