If I Could Forget

June 18, 2023

If I could but forget your touch

Your embrace, so warm and tight

The way you sang, so sweetly much

And how your words lit up the night

If I could wipe your scent away

The taste of you upon my lips

And in silence the pleasures you lay

With all the memories I would skip

But still, the song of love you sang

Echoes deep within my soul

And though my heart may feel the pang

Of pain, it cannot let go

For every moment spent with you

Is etched forever in my mind

And though I try, I cannot do

Away with all the love I find

So I’ll embrace the memories, the pain and all,

For in them lies a beauty, a story to be told,

Of a love that once was, and still stands tall,

In the depths of my heart, forever bold.
