You Will Forget Me

When you forget me and in the future I am gone. So much was by us both left unsaid Neither of us said, And the root of most regrets are thoughts In words unspoken said. When eye's are closed and dreams no more, And how this is the living know, but through the hopes Of millions more if their thoughts expressed. If in life a little more each day our love Grows dim from lack of want, And you stop loving me though I'm still me. Do not leave me for no one you've not met, In your favorite spot is where I'll sit and watch Your face for hints of what's to come. The wind won't cease to blow the leaves will Always fall, And love like arrows pierced my heart each night Once both we had. Love is not a thought, thought long and hard, A day, a month, a year flies quickly by. I felt once as one with thee and you again with me. A flower sweet you are, a bud a rose, a bush Through woods that are dark and deep where We could love and not be seen. and as long as you live, your love will give me life without love leaving mine. When you my love still struggle on forget me. Copyright © James McLain | Year Posted 2018
