You can forget what love was wearing when it walked out your front door, where you fell down to your knees. You can forget the kind of suitcase that was packed out on the sidewalk while you cried there begging please, but love remembers...Love remembers the smell of a summer day, lying in a hammock over fresh cut grass, and the promise of forever...Love remembers the sound of a pouring rain beating down on the top of the car on the side of the road where it cut away...
Craig Morgan has an amazing voice and his songs seem to say it just right. This song rings true for everyone who has ever been in a relationship that has come to an end. Of course, what love remembers is different for each of us. For me, love remembers airport terminals, turning to see him walking toward me in his BDUs, being picked up, spun around, then kissed for everyone to see, the smell of snow, horseback riding on a clear winter morning, the plans we made, the feel of his fingertips on my face, the rumble of an old beloved rusted truck, the taste of his kiss, watching him get ready for work and being so proud of him as he stood there in uniform, driving around base and seeing his world, daisies, smelling his cologne as I drifted off to sleep wearing his sweatshirt, the oddest chocolate cake I have ever made, and being thrown over his shoulder and carried across a parkling lot.
Why is it that love never remembers the fighting, anger, tears, stress, frustration and hurt that culminated in the end of the relationship? Why doesn't love remember all the awful things that were said and the hurtful things that were done? Why can't love remember all the things that happened when it was over that made you glad they were gone? Why won't love remember that you shouldn't miss them?
What does love remember for you?
