Yesterday’s a memory and forever gone <br />There’s been so much hurt and maybe I’m wrong <br />But we haven’t been happy for so many years <br />It hurts, but I’m now realizing my fears. <br /> <br />It’s time for us to part, time to say good-bye <br />We can’t change things now even if we try <br />We don’t talk about our problems, worries or doubts <br />I’ve tried to tell you but you always shut be out. <br /> <br />We forgot how to love, forgot how to share <br />Treated each other like we didn’t care <br />Forgot the compliments, the little things in life, <br />Forgot how to treat each other like husband and wife. <br /> <br />It’s hard to say good-bye after so many years <br />We both deserve happiness, not sadness and tears <br />The kids are grown, soon we’ll be left here alone <br />We can’t go on like this with little love ever shown <br /> <br />We have nothing in common, not much to say <br />We’re more like strangers now, not like our yesterday <br />Hurt feelings and resentments pulled us apart <br />Words won’t help now, we both need a new start. <br /> <br />I wish you happiness, love, a purpose in life <br />I’ll never regret loving you or being your wife <br />It’s time to move on, time for us to part <br />Find happiness again and make a new start.<br /><br />Sandra Finch<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/forgot-how-to-love/
