I Can't Remember You

I remember your arms around me,

But I can’t remember you.

I remember you were important to me,

But I can’t remember you.

You were born just minutes before me,

But you were less than four pounds,

Dying before you even got the chance to live.

I remember they buried you,

But I can’t remember you.

I remember they named you Ian,

But I can’t remember you.

What happened to you inside our mother?

They say you were old enough to dream, to feel.

Did you hurt, Ian?

I know I loved you,

But I don’t remember you.
