forget me not
today, i found myself waiting
sitting in this coffee shop
relentlessly,
thoughts of you engulfed my mind.
our love was once budding
now a for-get-me-not
please, forget me not
because i can't get you off of my mind.
for you, i wrote
i wrote and i wrote,
none of it any good,
but each time i cried-
paper stained with salt water
crinkled paper
now a for-get-me-not,
please, forget me not.
if love is patient
i'm willing to wait.
if love is kind,
why do my insides ache?
love is doubt
and regret consumes me.
i've learned to hate something that never happened.
please, forget me not.
our love was delicate,
but the petals have fallen.
we're a wilted stem
it seems all good things must come to an end;
but whatever this was
it never began
and i can't begin to tell you how sorry i am.
please, forget me not.
