Nightmares by Anya Chen

If All Is Lost, Remember Me by Sophie Jones I’m saving you, a memory, For a night so dark it keeps me awake. If all is lost, remember me.

Yet we might last a century, With lips we meet and hands we take. I’m saving you, a memory.

Our love is our reverie, Let’s keep it for our own heart’s sake. I’m saving you, a memory.

I hold your face so tenderly. You think you made a grave mistake? If all is lost, remember me.

I fear the soul’s December sea Will toss and turn this ship to break. If all is lost, remember me.

Goodbye is not an enemy, Despite the long and dying ache. I’m saving you, a memory. If all is lost, remember me.
