Lets Start Over? Poem by Dolan Doran

“let’s start over” he says.
We shake hands, I laugh.
How do you forget love?
How can you no look
at him and remember?
All those long days,
the phone talks,
I don’t know what to believe.
You say you’re scared,
you don’t know how to talk
to me...Do you lie?
You asked to start over, but
you won’t even try.
Why ask if you won’t give
it 100 percent?
I can’t forget you.
The you I remember;
funny, sweet, innocent,
The you I loved.
So don’t ask me to.
But I’ll give this a try.
I’ll try to start over,
to make new memories.
But this won’t work if you
don’t help me.
