If You Forget Me <br /> <br />Inspired by Pablo Neruda's poem If You Forget Me <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />If you forget me I will not forget <br />the times we spent in each other’s arms, <br />when I believed that you would never let <br />me think of any other woman’s charms, <br />but though those times will always be to me <br />more precious than the rubies and the pearls <br />which I declared meant less to me than thee, <br />more lovely than King Solomon’s best girls, <br />I will move on, and try to find in others <br />the love that once I thought I’d only find <br />in you, because though men can’t change their mothers, <br />love teaches them to put the past behind. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright 2005 Gershon Hepner 5/25/05<br /><br />gershon hepner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-you-forget-me-3/
