I wish for you <br />To think back, <br />Before the time <br />We first met, <br /> <br />And realize you were <br />More joyful <br />Without me <br /> in your life <br /> <br />I want you to <br />Forget, the days <br />We ever spent, <br />And remember me, <br />No more, <br />If you will… <br /> <br />I think that first <br />You should forget <br />The way I spoke <br />My voice, my words <br /> <br />And then the way <br />I walked beside you <br />On the path <br /> <br />And then forget <br />The way I smiled <br />And next forget <br />The way I laughed <br /> <br />Until the colors <br />Of my eyes are <br />Gone from <br />Your mind. <br /> <br />It is better that I be <br />Completely erased, <br />Better that you forget <br />I existed entirely <br /> <br /> <br />Until my memory-bones <br />Have turned to dust <br />And my face is a blank; <br /> <br />Wait until, I am a nothing; <br />Gone, <br />With the spring winds, <br />And the fall monsoons. <br /> <br />And then my name <br />Will be but meaningless <br />White noise <br />And the touch of my lips <br />And my smile <br />Will be nothing to you. <br /> <br />And the sand <br />will drift on, covering up <br />all my footsteps <br />where I once skipped <br />over the mountain passes. <br /> <br />And then the ripples <br />In the dust will disappear <br /> <br />And the future will <br />Walk upon the ancient’s <br />Marrow and I, <br />I will be estranged. <br />So, wait <br />my Corazon, <br />And If you ever loved me <br />forget me…just forget me <br />Please...<br /><br />Keighley Hastings<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/forget-me-please/
