You Will Forget Me Poem by James McLain

When you forget me and in the future
I am gone.

So much was by us both left unsaid
Neither of us said,
And the root of most regrets are thoughts
In words unspoken said.

When eye's are closed and dreams no more,
And how this is the living know, but through the hopes
Of millions more if their thoughts expressed.

If in life a little more each day our love
Grows dim from lack of want,
And you stop loving me though I'm still me.

Do not leave me for no one you've not met,
In your favorite spot is where I'll sit and watch
Your face for hints of what's to come.

The wind won't cease to blow the leaves will
Always fall,
And love like arrows pierced my heart each night
Once both we had.

Love is not a thought, thought long and hard,
A day, a month, a year flies quickly by.
I felt once as one with thee and you again with me.
A flower sweet you are, a bud a rose, a bush
Through woods that are dark and deep where
We could love and not be seen.
and as long as you live, your love will give me life
without love leaving mine.
When you my love still struggle on forget me.
