Author's Note: It's really angsty and short, so be forewarned. Oh, and please review :)

It shouldn't be this way. I shouldn't be so terrified of forgetting, yet here I am, crying my heart out in front of the stars.

I'm not afraid of the bombs that could kill me in my sleep.

Not of the war that could take my family from me, I am afraid of time.

I keep holding on to our memories like water in my cupped hands. I know that it's useless, that eventually you'll become just a dream of a dream. That the days we spent together won't even feel like they're real. But that won't stop me, I can't just give up, I won't fail.

I'm slowly losing you, I can't stop it. I'm trying so hard, but nothings staying with me.

What do you look like? Why can't I remember the sound of your voice?

I don't understand, what's wrong with me? I can't forget, I can't. I promised you. I promised that I would survive, that I wouldn't forget you, that I would be happy.

I'm failing you, as each second goes by, I'm failing. Time is stealing you from me . . . .
