i miss you/ my sweet memory — Summary

You're my sweet memory But I'm in a sorrowful rain For i miss you here with me Your gone like how she is But i don't know What your doing Whether you have remembered us Or have you forgotten me Whether you moved on Or never forgotten I wonder Are you alone Or with some one Are you happy Or sad Either way I hope you remember Remember me Because i remember you I hope I'm your Sweet memory Because darling You are.... My sweet memory

Veronika Flynn's speaker is missing someone who is no longer there, and the poem is made of the questions that absence leaves behind. Has this person remembered her or forgotten her? Moved on or not? Are they alone, with someone else, happy, sad? She can't know, and the short, broken lines make that uncertainty feel like her own halting thoughts. The line "Your gone like how she is" hints that another loss sits behind this one, though the poem never explains who "she" is.

The mood is wistful and tender rather than angry. The "sorrowful rain" sets a sad tone, but the speaker doesn't blame anyone. She says she hopes to be remembered, whatever the person's situation is now. The ending turns the opening phrase around: she hopes she is their "sweet memory," then tells them, "darling, you are... my sweet memory." It's a quiet, vulnerable close, where love survives as memory.
