Please don’t forget me

Remember what I’ve done

Remember all those good things I did to you

How I changed you

How I made you feel

Now that I must leave

I have to ask one more tiny favor

Don’t forget me

For I will fade away completely

please don't

forget me.

because if the

memories of

me die,

i shall

perish

with them.

I’m not saying that I deserve to be remembered,

I’m admitting that I cannot bear to be forgot.

That I both hope and fear to see you at the opposite end of the crosswalk in the city that whispers your name so sharply sometimes.

That sometimes I read stories and you’re there, in between the lines and falling down the margins.

That you are still the most interesting person I’ve ever met.

I admit that I hope I’m a ghost to you too, even if I’m just a flicker in one of your dreams.

Until I see you again, maybe across the street.

I was once apart of you that your mind wouldn't erase.

I kept your heart beating at a normal pulsating pace.

A drum beat with a crazy rhythm whenever you saw my face.

Your body quivered from head to toe because your soul couldn't escape.

Do I suppose to apologize for being your every existence?

Should I run and hide when you and I are close in distance?

Is it polite for me to love you even when you are in resistance?

Can I hand you my heart to show you my assistance?

I regret the fact that love grows with no direction.

And it will take over your body and mind with no warnings or inspections.

It dies on its own, and re-births with its resurrection.

Please don't forget me, because it's me you see in your reflection.

Do not forget me,

Not for what I did

But for what you felt for me,

For my deeds are but physical

And can easily be washed away

But your heart, where you held me,

Stays till heaven calls,

So mount my statue there

While there's still time.

please don’t forget me

my craving whispers

and the way it clings

to thoughts and here

inside surely means

it shall indeed always

linger on my mind

if not consciously

then subconsciously

weighing on upon

my conscience...

till kingdom come.

please don't forget me challenge @ColdRamen

How do I know

I'm not just another face

a forggeten childhood friend?

How do I know

I won't bleed in and dry out

as just another face in the crowd?

How do I know

I'm not someone put up with

out of sticky pity?

How do I know

that I'm not just rusting chains,

your patience dying as they break?

How do I know

that I'm not just a shadow,

dragged along and desolate?

How do I know

that your memories; my heart

won't succumb to errosion?

Please, don't forget me.

please don't forget me

if the lights go dark

and we sit together in the black.

please don't forget my touch

please don't forget my love

even if you hate me when

the lights come back on.

please don't forget me

when that dirty guitar plays

with gain that scrapes out the

insides of our ears and rips

holes in our jeans.

please don't forget my voice

screaming alongside yours.

please don't forget me

when the smoke we shared

sinks into my lungs for good

and all you can smell is

antiseptic and dread.

i've loved you once, and

i'll love you again.

just please don't forget me, in the end.
