If You Forget Me
Say you will
Remember for all times
All that is sweet in the world
The looks as our eyes found
Each other across a room
The touch of your hand
The warmth of your body
Next to mine
The conversations
As we sit before the fire
Hours working quietly
Together in the studio
There really is no more
I will not forget you
Not for all times
Your breath against my cheek
But, if one day...you forget me
Over time...I will forget you
It is not a threat
But a promise my dear

Beautiful, Annell!
Oh this is beautifully eloquent 💖 thank you so much for participating, Annell 😊
All will be well... if memory can hold on to all those little moments and feels.
I see Neruda's influence here. I doubt there will be forgetting on either side. Smiles.
Ooh, it being not a threat but a promise gives me the tingles. Very well penned! :-)
I took a 'take no prisoners approach' as well:) Enjoyed your poem.
There is such strength in the end... tit for tats
I like how the narrator shows that they can cope and their lost partner does not need to fret.
Memories, part of them fade, but the most precious remain even though we can no longer find the one who wrote them. Beautiful
I wish I had such control over what I forget.. always been plagued with the memory of an elephant.
This Nerudu style poem just bothers me as it seems so shallow... I know i must be the only one. The "I'll forget you if you forget me". But you penned it well here.
