What Must Be Remembered

What you'll never know, you'll never know,
And what I must remember, I must remember.

I have to remember I'm not the first
To have had to live without the love
Who enlivened her life with life.

Others have survived carrying the weight
Of what's not there. Others have kept
Finding themselves repeating underneath,

I miss you, Rachel, oh how I miss you,
Oh how you'll never know how I miss you.
