Will You Remember Me

Will you remember. the Spring, times that we've shared..
Sitting under the old maple tree.. watching as the sunlit amber leaves of the forsynthia,
fell scattered amongst the ground.,
like a sudden golden meteor shower. around Easter time..
and then watching as the lilacs
burst forth,like a passionate purple flower showering us both with love,and making our heads spin with their heady scent ,.right around Mother's Day
and...then the days spent.. taking seemingly endless drives along the countryside..
Laughing and lost in nature's beautiful spell she cast.

Pages turned
and,bridges crossed.
love we began,
hoping it would not be lost.
Will you remember,
times we've had,
loved shared.,
The hot July sun..
days spent floating upon serene blue waters..
aimlessly without a care..sun dancing recklessly in our hair,
summer's spell rendering us utterly powerless.
to resist starlit dreamy, romantic,
summer nights..spent contentedly around a bonfire,
daring us, luring us..
to give in to it's moonlit spell..
Hoping it would not be washed away.

Will you recall, as the summer turned to fall..
the cool chilly air and nights spent in,,,
staring into eachother's eyes..
we had no secrets and we had no lies..
Pillow talk, till the light of dawn..
Sometimes dreading,the imminent arrival of nearby stormy skies.

I wonder will you remember, the first snowfall..
the wonder of it all.
as we placed lights upon the tree
As we traced angels in the snow..
Tracing memories we came to know..
As if in some other time,
some other place.I can't help but wonder,
Will you even remember my face.

Will you remember me at all,
Or have you ,already been taken you from me...
Only time can know..
And sometimes it feels as though I'm in love alone.
And though you haven't yet actually gone,
I already miss you, so.

Very beautiful. I begun to feel tingling emotion in the last stanza as you longed for a loved one close to you. Thank you for a heart felt poem.

*Wipes a tear away* Watching a loved one succumb to illness like this is never easy. Try to keep reminders close so that he may seem them and remember. :) May the angels hold you close at this time. hug heart wings

Q.S. - may i offer another viewpoint, which is right before you already. the real point for you, is that you remember him, eloquently, gently, lovingly, as you have done in this beautiful poem. best wishes Q.S. ;-]

"As we traced angels in the snow..
Tracing memories we came to know.."

Oh,my dear Quietstorm,I can relate to this somber poem....My mother was diagnosed with Ahlzheimers,and dementia...It brought a tears to my eyes....especially the line that says....(As if in some other place..some other time...somewhere...Will you even remember me?) I loved it,every single word....

Thank-you so much DeathToHeroes..Yes it is sad.. bittersweet and yet..even though I know I have some good memories.. I am saddened though, because I am a very sentimental person and everyone who has come into my life, for whatever reason.. I remember.. and cherish,(in most cases) laugh hug teddybear

Hi Quiet Storm,
Um, Sorry That you are going thru this, tho I found Alcohol and relationships is bad buisness,
and I so well know what it is to Love Someone Dearly, Honest, true Faithful Love, and for the right Reasons,
And Them Walking Away, Into a New Direction...
and only Myself, Standing in Tears,Without Resounding Love that couldnt be Fulfilled...
It was a sad Hard Lesson, But I also Learned a Life Lesson from it... I Learned that I could not do it alonesigh

So I had To walk on...moping

It Takes Two, and BOTH Have to be Committed, as One dont work...
So No matter what I had to go thru,
I had to walk away Alone....

I Learned it takes two, One wont work...
My Heart Understands Clearly, The Hurt, the frustration,
and all the rest that comes with it....

But Today, I Make Myself Smile,
To Dam up the Tears..sad flower teddybear

Hi, QuietStormF,
And sometimes it feels as though I'm in love alone. And, what is to be done if the answer to Will you remember me at all is 'No'? Oh, what our souls do bear for loving. Though, at times, they may seem a burden, hopefully, those positive memories, so lovingly recounted, can bring some degree of comfort. Blessings to both.

Memories belong to the owner. You have written of beautiful memories. I wish there was some way I could take a big eraser and erase your pain away and put more happy times in its place. I will keep you in my heart.hug

QuietStorm,
Lovely, but sad poem. You write so beautifully. I hope you are doing alright dear. Take good care.

Beautiful, beautiful write! And stunningly poignant. The last two lines filled me with sadness: anticipation of a loss and already missing love though it is still lingering here, but who knows for how long?! To feel so insecure in love! Why should it be so and not the other way round?! Why doesn't love stay and endure to the last? Why parting with it at a moment when all your being is deeply, deeply involved?! Thank you for this poem.
