If I forget, <br />The earth may forget the Sun and the Moon. <br />If I forget <br />The sweet heart I revolved round for breath, <br />May I die lowlier than a street dog, <br />Abandoned, orphaned and unattended- <br />If I forget. <br /> <br />Though you forget, <br />No ill will be of mine to tarnish you. <br />Though you forget, <br />You gave me the right to love and court you. <br />You may withdraw it, which is your right. <br />You still are my queen and I still your slave- <br />Though you forget. <br /> <br />The pleasure got, will stay as a treasure. <br />17.02.2008 [inspired by one from Thomas Hardy<br /><br />Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-not-i-may-forget/
