i've forgotten

Thirty years investment
Of love fun an pain
The rewards undeniable
The joy simply plain
A lifetime together
Nurturing what we had
The difference in you i saw
Was it now going bad
You seemed to be distant
Recognition wouldn't last
No glint in your eye
When nostalging the past
You looked as if you were searching
Forever ...all the time
Lost within your world
Your memory could not define
Words you would mutter
To help you find your way
As i watched on in sadness
My trying would go astray
I searched for a place for you
Where you could be found
'Twas the hardest thing for me to do
For you my dear love were always around
Everytime i used to visit
You never knew who i really was
Your new friendship with a fellow
Tore the roots of my heart ...just because
Our life had been a joyous one
Many years we did share
So when the past did die at last
It would never stop me to care
Back i came again an again
To see if something new
Had changed with in your vision
Of what i was to you
But alas you had lost
Everything you had
History was a second to you
Forever asking ...that was sad
I walked away that very day
Never to know you again
With it i took my memories
An wrapped them in my pain
Buried them deep for me to keep
Recalling them again an again...
