When someone dies

Everyone who knew them cries

And when they're close to you

You cry too, just a bit more

You make a promise to never forget them 

All the memories of them you cherish as gems

But in less than a year they seem to fade

Like unclear memories and all the promises you made

You can't remember it just fades

But you promise to remember

Their death anniversaries is in November

The way they talked

Their dialect and the way they walked

You promised to remember 

What they liked

Olives, oranges, and what they disliked

Now you can't be found

Because you're underground

I promised to remember 

Your death anniversary is in November

I promised to remember

The orange, the olives and what you disliked

I promised to remember

What you told me, my life is my own ride

I promised to remember 

The warmth of your embrace

And the kindness of your heart that you just gave

I promised to remember 

You telling me to pray

But never did any day

I promised to remember 

I promised to remember 

I promised to remember you

But now you're just an unclear memory that is fading 

And the promises I made are waving 

Goodbye
