The Heart That Never Pretends Poem by Ponniah Ganeshan

You simply asked me to forget and forgive
And wanted to go away
From the days upon days we moved together
From the dreams upon dreams I see you forever
You simply wanted to erase what I cherish
In my heart and remember

Oh dear, let the days I moved with you
Remain for ever throughout my life
Or else let my life last at least
Till your thoughts about me cease to exist

Wounded the heart may be time and again
Yet, it never forgets whoever she loves
Cause, the heart never pretends
She only knows how to throb
