Don'T Think You Are Forgotten
Unseen Bonds: A Song of Enduring Love and Hope
Lyrics
Don’t think you are forgotten for a moment
Assurance that despite doubts, the person isn't forgotten
Though you wonder if you’ll ever make it home
Questioning if returning home is possible
You are here, dear
Reassurance of the person's presence being valued
In my heart, dear
Emotional closeness and significance in the speaker's heart
Know that you have never been alone
Acknowledgment of continuous companionship
Not a morsel to my lips, not a drop to my mouth
Expression of deprivation – no food or sustenance
Not a sunrise or a sunset’s colours pass
Unable to notice the beauty of nature due to absence
I don’t see you
Unable to physically see the person
Feel you
Inability to emotionally sense the person's presence
As keenly as I feel this emptiness
Feeling the void strongly due to absence
I don’t care if you return to me exhausted
Unconcerned about the person's condition upon return
Wounded or penniless, in debt
Acceptance regardless of the person's difficulties
Let me hold you ‘til the awful spell is broken
Willingness to support until the difficult phase ends
Let me hold you ‘til all our tears are wept
Offering emotional support through challenging times
Even the lowliest soldier goes on leave
Even those in different roles have times of rest or respite
Even the mightiest boxer heeds the bell
Even the strongest need to heed signs of rest or change
Catch your breath now
Encouragement to relax, take a break
Come on home now
Invitation to return home and find solace
Here you are loved just as yourself
Assurance of being loved unconditionally
Don’t think you are forgotten for a moment
Reiteration of not being forgotten despite uncertainties
Though you wonder if you’ll ever make it home
Repeating the uncertainty of returning home
You are here, dear
Reaffirmation of the person's importance in the speaker's heart
In my heart, dear
Emphasizing the continuous presence in the heart
Know that you have never been alone
Reassurance of never being alone
