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.

You will be remembered alright.
Beautiful
these and will never be forgotten. Exceptionally
well written as always when spoken from the heart.
This is a gentle and poignant cri de coeur. I hope your prayers are answered and that you soon know peace.
Best wishes

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 alone
So I had To walk on...
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..

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