Forget Me Not

Forget me not.
Remember me still
Like the sunshine on your face
And the early morning chill.
When you hear the song of promises past,
The tune, the rhythm, the rhyme,
Remember the freedom your heart surrendered
For a feeling much more divine.
The desire overpowering
What your mind knew to be true.
Knowing it couldn't last forever.
Hoping it wouldn't end too soon.
The heartache overwhelming
But from the ashes you did rise.
Growing stronger with each passing day.
One less tear fell from your eyes.
Regret not what you lost
For it was a gift given from above.
The memories kept safe within your heart.
Never forgotten is your first love.
